Aemilia Bassano Lanyer published poetry to and for women in 1611, at the height of the largely misogynistic reign of James I.

Sophie Burden was raised on Remuda Ranch, an historic dude ranch established by her family outside of Wickenburg, Arizona. She could soon ride better than her unsteady toddler legs could walk.

ISBN: 9780195102062 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A Handbook of Literary Feminisms brings together for the first time two distinct threads of literary feminism: literary history and feminist criticism and theory. The first section of the book offers a history of women's contributions to Anglo-American literature over the past 500 years.

Prophetic Writings of Lady Eleanor Davies
ISBN: 9780195087178 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Eleanor Davies (1590-1652) was one of the most prolific women writing in early seventeenth-century England. This volume includes thirty-eight of the sixty-some prophetic tracts that she published. Inspired to prophecy by a visionary experience in 1625, the year of Charles I's accession to the throne, she devoted herself to warning her contemporaries that the Day of Judgement was imminent. Her zeal and her intricately constructed tracts confounded contemporaries who called her mad. She experienced repeated imprisonment and also confinement to Bedlam, London's mental hospital. The tracts tell...

A Continuation of Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia
ISBN: 9780195087192 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Anna Weamys's A Continuation of Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia is a woman's contribution to one of the dominant genres of her sex's readership in the seventeenth century: the heroic romance. Part of the considerable power and appeal of this work is its reduction of the heroic romance to a smaller scale. In its shorter length and its comparatively direct style, it avoids the fustian and bloat of the form. At the same time, it elaborates on the genre's stronger points--its playfulness and fantasy, its explorations of the nuances of sensibility--while not sacrificing its...

Selected Writings of Judith Sargent Murray
ISBN: 9780195078831 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As a novelist, essayist, dramatist, and poet, Judith Sargent Murray candidly and often humorously asserted her opinions about the social and political conditions of women in late eighteenth-century America. As a committed feminist, she urged American women to enter a "new era in female history," yet published her own writings under a man's name in hopes of more widely disseminating her ideas. Murray published poems, essays, and plays regularly in the Massachusetts Magazine. Throughout this early work, Murray addressed various controversial topics, including female education,...

The Galesia Trilogy and Selected Manuscript Poems of Jane Barker
ISBN: 9780195086508 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Novelist, religious dissident, political poet, and sometime Jacobite spy, Jane Barker wrote on a remarkable variety of subjects and displayed a facility with an equally remarkable variety of genres. Most extraordinary, though, was her ability to manipulate the objects of female domesticity, an embroidered patch-work screen for example, as literary conceits to rival those of her male contemporaries. "A Patch-Work Screen for the Ladies" (1723) and "The Lining of the Patch-Work Screen (1726), both part of The Galesia Trilogy, attest to her talents; they include realistic stories and...
