'Early modern women's manuscript poetry' is an anthology of texts
by fourteen women poets writing between 1589 and 1706. It is the
only currently available anthology of early modern women's writing
which focuses exclusively on manuscript material. Authors include
Mary Sidney, Lucy Hutchinson and Katherine Philips; central figures
in the emerging canon of early modern women writers, but whose work
appears in a fresh and very different light in the manuscript
context emphasised by this anthology. The volume also includes
substantial excerpts from a recently discovered verse paraphrase of
Genesis, thought to be by the previously unknown
seventeenth-century writer Mary Roper, as well as selections from
the unjustly neglected poet, Hester Pulter. The mix of canonical
and non-canonical writers makes this book ideal for use on
undergraduate and early postgraduate courses, while specialists
will be particularly interested in the sophisticated and varied
material taken from less familiar sources. -- .
