Media Reviews
Pacheco (humanities, Univ. of Hertfordshire) has produced a much--needed collection that puts into historical and literary perspective the study of early modern women and their writings. [...] In scholarship and critical depth, this volume compares favourably to the many recent publications on early modern women; what makes it particularly useful is its accessibility to students just becoming acquainted with the field. Choice This is a worthwhile and well--produced volume ... [it] would make an excellent core text for students on courses on early modern womena s writing or gender studies[.] English Historical Review
