The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern Women's Writing in English,
1540-1700 brings together new work by scholars across the globe,
from some of the founding figures in early modern women's writing
to those early in their careers and defining the field now. It
investigates how and where women gained access to education, how
they developed their literary voice through varied genres including
poetry, drama, and letters, and how women cultivated domestic and
technical forms of knowledge from recipes and needlework to
medicines and secret codes. Chapters investigate the ways in which
women's writing was an integral part of the intellectual culture of
the period, engaging with male writers and traditions, while also
revealing the ways in which women's lives and writings were often
distinctly different, from women prophetesses to queens, widows,
and servants. It explores the intersections of women writing in
English with those writing in French, Spanish, Latin, and Greek, in
Europe and in New England, and argues for an archipelagic
understanding of women's writing in Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and
England. Finally, it reflects on-and challenges-the methodologies
which have developed in, and with, the field: book and manuscript
history, editing, digital analysis, premodern critical race
studies, network theory, queer theory, and feminist theory. The
Oxford Handbook of Early Modern Women's Writing in English,
1540-1700 captures the most innovative work on early modern women's
writing in English at present.
