The Early Modern Englishwoman: A Facsimile Library of Essential Works & Printed Writings, 1641-1700: Series II, Part Three

The Early Modern Englishwoman: A Facsimile Library of Essential Works is designed to make available a comprehensive and focused collection of writings from 1500 to 1750, both by women and for and about them. The three series of Printed Writings (1500-1640, 1641-1700, and 1701-1750) provide a comprehensive, if not entirely complete, collection of the separately published writings by women, and aim to support the advancement of feminist criticism of the early modern period. volumes in the facsimile library reproduce carefully chosen copies of these texts, incorporating a short introduction providing an overview of the life and work of a writer along with a survey of important scholarship. The Early Modern Englishwoman also includes separate facsimile series of Essential Works for the Study of Early Modern Women and of Manuscript Writings. These facsimile series are complemented by The Early Modern Englishwoman 1500-1750: Contemporary Editions which includes both old-spelling and modernized editions of works by and about women and gender in early modern England.
