ABSTRACT
This concluding chapter features visual arts and music but also highlights the interrelationship of different artistic mediums of writing, needlework, painting, calligraphy, and musical composition. These artistic forms of expression engage different interpretive practices. Examinations of the various arts of the early modern period also challenge contemporary assumptions about women’s involvement in the world of art. Ultimately, this chapter invites a reconsideration of the primacy given to writing and to print in our investigations of women’s contributions to culture in the early modern age and even in our own day.
