Volume 4. "This collection is a revelation, even to those of us who
have long been interested in women's writing. From now on, it will
be an indispensable resource." -Phyllis Rackin, Professor of
English emerita and past president of the Shakespeare Association
No single library on the planet can stand besides this unique
collection of writings by and about extraordinary women of the
British Isles. WOMEN'S WORKS, Volume 1, gathers the best in women's
literature from the Celts and Anglo Saxons through the six wives of
Henry VIII; with astonishing glimpses into the private lives of
queens, midwives, heretics and nuns. Volume 2 covers the reigns of
queens Jane (9 days), Mary, and Elizabeth I, with selections from
wits, witches, and lovers. Volume 3 provides a rich assembly of
women poets, playwrights, and proto-feminists of the Jacobean
period. And Volume 4 presents a gallery of female poets, lovers,
rebels, and wits of the Caroline and Civil War eras. Twenty-five
years in the making, WOMEN'S WORKS sets forth a thousand years of
women's history, from women's point of view, much of its content
supplied by previously unpublished manuscripts (in modern spelling)
and a lively commentary throughout, by leading scholars who
actually know how to write. (Review) Illustrated. 8x10 440 pp.
