A Handbook on early modern women's writing that combines new developments in historical and critical research with theoretical and conceptual approaches.
Women, Poetry, and Politics in Seventeenth-Century Britain
Women, Poetry, and Politics in Seventeenth-Century Britain offers a new account of women's engagement in the poetic and political cultures of seventeenth-century England and Scotland, based on poetry that was produced and circulated in manuscript. Katherine Philips is often regarded as the first in a cluster of women writers, including Margaret Cavendish and Aphra Behn, who were political, secular, literary, print-published, and renowned. Sarah C. E. Ross explores a new corpus of political poetry by women, offering detailed readings of Elizabeth Melville, Anne Southwell, Jane Cavendish, Hester Pulter, and Lucy Hutchinson, and making the compelling case that female political poetics emerge ou...
Routledge Companion to Women, Sex, and Gender in the Early British Colonial World
All of the essays in this volume capture the body in a particular attitude: in distress, vulnerability, pain, pleasure, labor, health, reproduction, or preparation for death. They attend to how the body’s transformations affect the social and political arrangements that surround it. And they show how apprehension of the body – in social and political terms – gives it shape.
Mid-Tudor Queenship and Memory
This book explores (mis)representations of two female claimants to the Tudor throne, Lady Jane Grey and Mary I of England. It places Jane's attempted accession and Mary I's successful accession and reign in comparative perspective, and illustrates how the two are fundamentally linked to one another, and to broader questions of female kingship, precedent, and legitimacy. Through ten original essays, this book considers the nature and meaning of mid-Tudor queenship as it took shape, functioned, and was construed in the sixteenth century as well as its memory down to the twenty-first, in literary, musical, artistic, theatrical, and other cultural forms. Offering unique comparative insights into Jane and Mary, this volume is a key resource for researchers and students interested in the Tudor period, queenship, and historical memory.
Anne Bradstreet in Context
The collection The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America by Anne Bradstreet--the first book of poetry published by a permanent resident of colonial America--appeared in 1650 thanks to the support of Bradstreet's brother-in-law. By this time, she had immigrated to New England with her husband; given birth to seven of her eight children; settled on her fifth and final homestead; and gained access to a network of influential Puritan leaders via the various positions held by her father, husband, brothers, and brothers-in-law within the Massachusetts Bay Colony government. This study of Bradstreet explores the literary, religious, political, social, and familial contexts of colonial America that...

What is the New Rhetoric?
The Age of Information has spawned a critical focus on human communication in a multimedia world, particularly on theories and practices of writing. This work addresses: how the classical art of rhetoric is relevant; and how it is directly related to modern technologies and the new modes of communication they have generated.
