Women, writing, history, 1640-1740

The years 1640-1740 were a time of rapid social and political change in England--a period that witnessed the emergence of the country's first professional women writers. Bringing together ten essays by feminist critics and scholars in both North America and the United Kingdom, Women, Writing, History offers fresh perspectives on the effects of such changes on literary genres, politics, and the perception of the "place" of women in society
