This book reveals that seventeenth-century women's very marginality
to traditional institutions of church and state made them catalysts
for imagining an expanded public culture beyond these institutions.
Women authors such as the conduct writer Dorothy Leigh, the prophet
Sarah Wight, and the poet Katherine Philips recast sites of private
dialogue--the extended family, the religious coventicle, and the
poetic coterie--as the bases of public debate that crossed national
borders. By revealing women writers' key role in the heated
controversies of this period, Gray offers a new reading of those
struggles as fractured by private affiliation and extended by
transnational alliance.
