Description

Explore the complex relationship between gender and literacy in sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century England. This scholarly work from Routledge sits at the intersection of textual criticism and cultural history, providing a deep look into how women viewed the act of reading during the early modern period. By examining a wide range of materials, including printed devotional works, maternal advice books, poetry, and fiction, the book uncovers how women shaped their own intellectual lives. The study also incorporates manuscript evidence to provide a comprehensive view of female literacy and social presence. Readers will find detailed analysis of significant historical figures and texts, such as Katherine Parr's Lamentation of a Sinner, the examinations of Anne Askew, and Dorothy Leigh's The Mothers Blessing. This book is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the social and political dimensions of reading in early modern English society.
