Reviews
'... this collection is timely and important, filling a crucial gap in assessing the editorial strategies, unique and shared, assumed and explicit, used in making women's texts available for teaching and scholarly use.' Laura Knoppers, University of Notre Dame, Indiana
'... a refreshingly current and theoretically urgent intervention into studies of early modern women's writing. ... Editing Early Modern Women, in sum, is a revelation; a fascinating encounter with the subject that glances backward to the early modern period and reaches forward to the horizon of twenty-first-century practice. ... This generous, intelligent, engaging, and eye-opening volume is a gift to anyone who intends to read, study, or teach early modern women's writing.' Patricia Phillippy, Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal
'This important volume will be essential reading for scholars and students interested in editing and gender, in the early modern period and beyond.' Gillian Wright, Renaissance Quarterly
