Challenging critical assumptions about the role of religion in influencing women's experiences of authorship, the seventeenth-century Protestant women discussed in this book range across the entire religio-political and social spectrums. Yet, all display an affinity with modern feminist theologians. Rather than being victims of a patriarchal gender ideology, these women were active participants in wider theological debates.
Reviews & endorsements
"Erica Longfellow's careful attention to the circumstances of production of these texts is in itself a considerable feat of scholarship...[a]lively, scholarly and enlightening book..."
Times Literary SupplementSee more reviews"this text offers important insights to any scholar studying seventeenth-century religious, social, and political discourse."
Sixteenth Century Journal"Refusing critical tendencies to read religion as a code for something else, Longfellow seeks instead to recuperate the historical primacy of religious thought within every mode of Renaissance discourse. Longfellow's study is highly successful in charting just how such theological considerations position early modern Englishwomen as active negotiators of gender norms and involved participants within a broad spectrum of social and cultural debates." Renaissance Quarterly Megan Matchinske, UNC Chapel Hill
