It was widely believed that women in Renaissance and early modern
England either did not write, or did not publish their work. It has
become clear that instead of using the emerging technology of
print, many women writers circulated their works by hand, with
friends copying and recopying poems, plays and novels from each
other or with the help of professional scribes. Through manuscript
publication, women's writing reached wide audiences and was
collected and admired by both men and women. Women's Writing and
the Circulation of Ideas contributes to the discovery and
re-evaluation of women writers by examining the writing and
manuscript publication of key authors from 1550 to 1800. The
collection's analysis of the range and meaning of women's writing
and manuscript publication during the rise of the print industry
alters our understanding of the history of the book and early
modern British literature alike.
