The Routledge History of Women in Early Modern Europe is a
comprehensive and ground-breaking survey of the lives of women in
early-modern Europe between 1450 and 1750. Covering a period of
dramatic political and cultural change, the book challenges the
current contours and chronologies of European history by observing
them through the lens of female experience. The collaborative
research of this book covers four themes: the affective world;
practical knowledge for life; politics and religion; arts, science
and humanities. These themes are interwoven through the chapters,
which encompass all areas of women's lives: sexuality, emotions,
health and wellbeing, educational attainment, litigation and the
practical and leisured application of knowledge, skills and
artistry from medicine to theology. The intellectual lives of
women, through reading and writing, and their spirituality and
engagement with the material world, are also explored. So too is
the sheer energy of female work, including farming and manufacture,
skilled craft and artwork, theatrical work and scientific enquiry.
The Routledge History of Women in Early Modern Europe revises the
chronological and ideological parameters of early-modern European
history by opening the reader's eyes to an exciting age of female
productivity, social engagement and political activism across
European and transatlantic boundaries. It is essential reading for
students and researchers of early-modern history, the history of
women and gender studies.
