Katherine Philips (1632-1664) is widely regarded as a pioneering
figure within English-language women's literary history. Best known
as a poet, she was also a skilled translator, letter writer and
literary critic whose subjects ranged from friendship and
retirement to politics and public life. Her poetry achieved a high
reputation among coterie networks in London, Wales and Ireland
during her lifetime, and was published to great acclaim after her
death. The present volume, drawing on important recent research
into her early manuscripts and printed texts, represents a new and
innovative phase in Philips's scholarship. Emphasizing her literary
responses to other writers as well as the ambition and
sophistication of her work, it includes groundbreaking studies of
her use of form and genre, her practices as a translator, her
engagement with philosophy and political theory, and her
experiences in Restoration Dublin. It also examines the posthumous
reception of Philips's poetry and model theoretical and digital
humanities approaches to her work. This book was originally
published as two special issues of Women's Writing.

Dublin: Renaissance city of literature interrogates the notion of a
literary 'renaissance' in Dublin. Through detailed case studies of
print and literature in Renaissance Dublin, the volume covers
innovative new ground, including quantitative analysis of print
production in Ireland, unique insight into the city's literary
communities and considerations of literary genres that flourished
in early modern Dublin. The volume's broad focus and extended
timeline offer an unprecedented and comprehensive consideration of
the features of renaissance that may be traced to the city from the
fifteenth to the seventeenth century. With contributions from
leading scholars in the area of early modern Ireland, including
Raymond Gillespie and Andrew Hadfield, students and academics will
find the book an invaluable resource for fully appreciating those
elements that contributed to the complex literary character of
Dublin as a Renaissance city of literature. -- .
