This book explores the development of familial discourse within a
chronological frame, commencing with the More family and concluding
with the Cavendish group. It explores the way in which the support
of family groups enabled women to participate in literary
production, whilst closeting them within a form of writing that
encompassed style or theme.
Through an exploration of key women writers of the early modern
period, Marion Wynne-Davies demonstrates the ways in which female
authors were both enabled and constrained by the writing traditions
and influences within their families. The engagement with and
participation in the construction of individual familial discourses
is explained via an analysis of six Renaissance families: the
Mores, Lumleys, Sidneys/Herberts, Carys and Cavendishes. While the
book addresses the writings of male authors from these family
groups, such as Sir Thomas More, John Donne, Philip Sidney, Lucius
Cary and William Cavendish, its primary focus is on Margaret
More/Roper, Gertrude More, Jane Lumley, Mary Wroth, Elizabeth Cary
and Jane, Elizabeth and Margaret Cavendish.
