This is the first comprehensive introduction to the works and
social contexts of women writers in early modern Britain, a
paradoxical period when it was considered unfeminine to write and
yet women were the authors of many poems, translations, conduct
books, autobiographies, plays, pamphlets and other texts. Leading
scholars examine the history of women's role in and access to
literary culture, and the work of individual women writers. A
unique chronology offers a woman-centered perspective on historical
and literary events, and there is a guide to further reading.
