- Description
- In thirteen essays, this publication investigates questions about early modern British women’s figurative, material, and cultural relationships with books. The volume’s three-part structure highlights case studies of individual readers and their libraries: analyses of readers and readership in the context of their interpretive communities: and new types of scholarly evidence - lists of confiscated books and convent rules, for example - as well as new methodologies and technologies for ongoing research.

- Description
- This book re-evaluates and extends understandings about how work was conceived and what it could entail for women in the premodern period in Europe from c. 1100 to c. 1800. It does this by building on the growth in literature on women’s working experiences, and by adopting new interpretive approaches that expand received assumptions about what constituted 'work' for women.

- This publication examines English women's legal rights to land and the reality and consequences of their land ownership over four centuries. More specifically, the book is about how gender shaped opportunities for and experiences of owning property, particularly for women. The focus is especially on land, residential buildings and commercial property, but livestock, common and personal property also feature. Included are the very latest qualitative and quantitative research on women's landownership.

- Description
- This publication reevaluates the nature and extent of women’s political alliances, based on archival discoveries as well as new work on politics and law. Grouped into three sections - domestic, court, and kinship alliances - these essays investigate historical documents, drama, and poetry, insisting that female alliances, much like male friendship discourse, had political meaning in early modern England. Female writers discussed are, amongst others, the Cavendish Sisters, Anne Clifford, Aemilia Lanyer, and Katherine Philips.
