ABSTRACT

In Stephen Orgel’s essay ‘Insolent Women and Manlike Apparel’, published in the last issue (TP 9:1), the title-page of Pleasant Quips for Upstart Newfangled Gentlewomen, illustrated in Figure 13, was supplied to the author in error. It is a nineteenth-century facsimile, and the original title-page has a different woodcut on it; the point, therefore, is no point at all: the woodcut is not a picture of the queen. The paragraph beginning ‘What are the limits of social imitation’ should be ignored.
