This is the second of two collections of correspondence written by
early modern English women philosophers. In this volume, Jacqueline
Broad presents letters from three influential thinkers of the
eighteenth century: Mary Astell, Elizabeth Thomas, and Catharine
Trotter Cockburn. Broad provides introductory essays for each
figure and explanatory annotations to clarify unfamiliar language,
content, and historical context for the modern reader. Her
selections make available many letters that have never been
published before or that live scattered in various archives,
obscure manuscripts, and rare books. The discussions range in
subject from moral theology and ethics to epistemology and
metaphysics; they involve some well-known thinkers of the period,
such as John Norris, George Hickes, Mary Chudleigh, John Locke, and
Edmund Law. By centering epistolary correspondence, Broad's
anthology works to reframe early modern philosophy, the foundation
for so much of twentieth-century philosophy, as consisting of
collaborative debates that women actively participated in and
shaped. Together with its companion volume, Women Philosophers of
Eighteenth-Century England: Selected Correspondence is an
invaluable primary resource for students, scholars, and those
undertaking further research in the history of women's
contributions to the formation and development of early modern
thought.
