Beschreibung:
A study of the representation of reading in early modern Englishwomen's writing, this book exists at the intersection of textual criticism and cultural history. It looks at depictions of reading in devotional works, maternal advice books, poetry, fiction, and manuscripts for evidence of ways in which women conceived of reading in sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century England. Among the texts considered are Katherine Parr, Lamentation of a Sinner; Anne Askew, The Examinations of Anne Askew; Dorothy Leigh, The Mothers Blessing; Elizabeth Grymeston, Miscelanea Meditations Memoratives; Anne Cornwallis's commonplace book (Folger MS V.a.89); Aemelia Lanyer, Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum; The Death and Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Bodleian MS Don.e.17), and Mary Wroth, The First Part of The Countess of Montgomery's Urania.
Contents: Introduction; Gendering the English Reformation: the vernacular reader in Anne Askew's Examinations and Katherine Parr's Lamentacion of a Synner; Dorothy Leigh, the 'Labourous Bee,' and the work of literacy in 17th-century England; A 'Wit's Camelion': Elizabeth Grymeston and the Catholic reader; Reading the passion among women: Aemelia Lanyer and Elizabeth Middleton; 'Onely a Cipher': reading and writing secrets in Lady Mary Wroth's The Countess of Montgomery's Urania; Selected bibliography; Index.
