Because print publishing was often neither possible nor desirable
for women in the early modern period, in order to understand the
range of writing by women and indeed women's literary history
itself, it is important that scholars consider women's writing in
manuscript. Since the body of critical studies on women's writing
for the most part prioritizes print over manuscript, this essay
collection provides an essential corrective. The essays in this
volume discuss many of the ways in which women participated in
early modern manuscript culture. The manuscripts studied by the
contributors originated in a wide range of different milieux,
including the royal Court, the universities, gentry and
aristocratic households in England and Ireland, and French
convents. Their contents are similarly varied: original and
transcribed secular and devotional verse, religious meditations,
letters, moral precepts in French and English, and recipes are
among the genres represented. Emphasizing the manuscripts' social,
political and religious contexts, the contributors challenge
commonly held notions about women's writing in English in the early
modern period, and bring to light many women whose work has not
been considered before.
