Reviews
“This is a brave and challenging Book. …we need to engage seriously with aesthetics and dare to make judgments, Most provocatively, she asks us to theorize and develop new methodologies appropriate to the very category of ‘woman writer.’” (Paula R. Backscheider, Early Modern Women Journal, Vol. 13 (2), 2019)
“This is just the book we need now. Its essays will galvanize those who already care deeply about the era’s groundbreaking women’s writings, compelling us to think about what must come next. Just as importantly, Dow and Batchelor’s fine collection promises to inspire readers who are new to the field's riches, complexities, and challenges.” (Devoney Looser, Arizona State University, USA)
