  • Summary

    This chapter focuses on the construction of literary authorship in Dublin during the first half of the seventeenth century. The constructions of literary authorship exploited the print culture to convey an image of the author at the centre of Dublin-based coteries. The chapter focuses on the ways in which liminary material shapes reception of the author-figure. In representing the author at the heart of a literary community, such constructions simultaneously depict Dublin as an amenably literary location. Print volumes by Richard Bellings, James Shirley and Henry Burnell assert images of Dublin as a city where literary folk could thrive. Inspired by his new location to try out a new genre, Francis Quarles' experience conforms with the rise and fall of literary community. The communities associated with Bellings, Shirley and Burnell, celebrated and crystallised in print, highlight the fitfulness of any literary renaissance in Dublin.

  • Anthologies play an essential role in shaping literary history. This anthology reveals women's poetic activity and production across the three nations of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales from 1400 to 1800, overturning the long-standing and widespread bias in favour of English writers that has historically shaped both scholarly and popular understanding of this period's female poetic canon. Prioritising texts that have never before been published or translated, readers are introduced to an extraordinary array of women's voices. From countesses to servant maids, from erotic verse to religious poetry, women's immense poetic output across four centuries, multiple vernaculars, and national traditions is richly demonstrated. Featuring translations and glosses of texts in Irish, Ulster Scots, Scots, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh, alongside informative headnotes on each poet, this collection makes the work of women poets available like never before. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
