2018 Best Collaborative Project from the Society for the Study of
Early Modern Women In the last thirty years scholarship has
increasingly engaged the topic of women's alliances in early modern
Europe. The Politics of Female Alliance in Early Modern England
expands our knowledge of yet another facet of female alliance: the
political. Archival discoveries as well as new work on politics and
law help shape this work as a timely reevaluation of the nature and
extent of women's political alliances. Grouped into three
sections-domestic, court, and kinship alliances-these essays
investigate historical documents, drama, and poetry, insisting that
female alliances, much like male friendship discourse, had
political meaning in early modern England. Offering new
perspectives on female authors such as the Cavendish sisters, Anne
Clifford, Aemilia Lanyer, and Katherine Philips, as well as on
male-authored texts such as Romeo and Juliet, The Winter's Tale,
Swetnam the Woman-Hater, and The Maid's Tragedy, the essays bring
both familiar and unfamiliar texts into conversation about the
political potential of female alliances. Some contributors are
skeptical about allied women's political power, while others
suggest that such female communities had considerable potential to
contain, maintain, or subvert political hierarchies. A wide variety
of approaches to the political are represented in the volume and
the scope will make it appealing to a broad audience.
