Synopsis

This anthology contains work by Renaissance women writers who, like their male counterparts, produced some of the most lyrical and powerful poetry in the English language. The anthology also highlights various ways in which to read the poetry. The historical material included in the introduction covers the roles of women (domestic, literary, aristocratic and religious), how and when they were able to write, and under what circumstances their writings were published. The "Selected Criticism" section examines various theories on women's writing, from Joan Kelly Gadol's question "did women have a Renaissance?" to the influences of feminism and new historicism. The final section of the book focuses on possible approaches to the poems in the collection.
