Royalist Women Writers aims to put women back on the map of
seventeenth-century royalist literature from which they have
habitually been marginalized. Looking in detail at the work of
Margaret Cavendish, Katherine Philips, and Aphra Behn, it argues
that their writings inaugurate a more assertive model of the
Englishwoman as literary author, which is crucially enabled by
their royalist affiliations. Chalmers reveals new political
sub-texts in the three writers' work and shows how these inflect
their representations of gender. In this way both their texts and
manner of presenting themselves as authors emerges as freshly
pertinent to their male and female royalist contemporaries for whom
supporting them could be an act of political self-definition.
