What was the relationship between woman and politics in
seventeenth-century England? Responding to this question,
Conspiracy and Virtue argues that theoretical exclusion of women
from the political sphere shaped their relation to it. Rather than
producing silence, this exclusion generated rich, complex, and
oblique political involvements which this study traces through the
writings of both men and women. Pursuing this argument Conspiracy
and Virtue engages the main writings on women's relationship to the
political sphere including debates on the public sphere and on
contract theory. Writers and figures discussed include Elizabeth
Avery, Aphra Behn, Anne Bradstreet, Maragret Cavendish, Queen
Christina of Sweden, Anne Halkett, Brilliana Harley, Lucy
Hutchinson, John Milton, Elizabeth Poole, Sara Wight, and Henry
Jessey.
