In this 2007 book, Kate Chedgzoy explores the ways in which women
writers of the early modern British Atlantic world imagined,
visited, created and haunted textual sites of memory. Asking how
women's writing from all parts of the British Isles and Britain's
Atlantic colonies employed the resources of memory to make sense of
the changes that were refashioning that world, the book suggests
that memory is itself the textual site where the domestic echoes of
national crisis can most insistently be heard. Offering readings of
the work of poets who contributed to the oral traditions of Wales,
Scotland and Ireland, and analysing poetry, fiction and
life-writings by well-known and less familiar writers such as
Hester Pulter, Lucy Hutchinson and Aphra Behn, this book explores
how women's writing of memory gave expression to the everyday,
intimate consequences of the major geopolitical changes that took
place in the British Atlantic world in the seventeenth century.
