Abstract
First paragraph: Archives and religion might justly be described as the buzzwords of early modern literary studies today. Where previous generations of scholars might have focused on high politics and power, today’s scholars increasingly turn to controversy and confessional identity, to manuscripts and material culture. This fine collection of essays on religious writing by early modern women is a case in point. Reflecting both the archival and religious turns in early modern studies, the 10 essays in the book set out to recover previously unknown, understudied, or underappreciated religious texts, in manuscript and print, by women from across the confessional divide. Each essay, though, in the editor Micheline White’s words, ‘share[s] a methodology that is attentive to the content of women’s religious texts, their historical contexts, and the critical frameworks that make them legible’
