Contents Cover -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Part I -- Part II -- Part III -- Afterword -- Abbreviations -- Notes -- List of Works by Women, 1521-1624 -- Index Summary An introduction to women writers of the English Renaissance which takes up 44 works, many as thumbnail sketches; shows how women's writing was hampered by the assumption that poets were male, by restriction to pious subject matter, by the doctrine that only silent women are virtuous, by criticism that praised women as patrons or muses and ignored their writing, and above all by crippling educational theories.
