Description

Discussing the role of women writers working in family groups during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, this new study explores the development of familial discourse within a chronological frame, commencing with the More family and concluding with the Cavendish group. Filling a gap in Renaissance scholarship, this book explores the way in which the support of family groups enabled women to participate in literary production, but simultaneously closeted them within a form of writing that often encompassed genre, style, rhetoric and theme.
