Reviews

As she does throughout this rich, detailed and important book, Ross here helps open up pathways for future study. Erin Murphy, Review of English Studies


As she does throughout this rich, detailed and important book, Ross here helps open up pathways for future study. * Erin Murphy, Review of English Studies * Women, Poetry, and Politics is a well organised, illustrated, and informed examination * Janet Hadley Williams, Parergon * This book serves as a bold and expert guide towards unearthing the features of this fascinating tradition. * Patricia Phillippy, Modern Language Review * Sarah C. E. Ross's Women, Poetry, and Politics in Seventeenth-Century Britain is a rich, exciting, and erudite study that significantly advances our understanding of the multitudinous ways in which seventeenth-century English women used writing to convey political perspectives ... Among other achievements, Ross's study impressively demonstrates the synchronous relationship among religious, familial, and political discourse at this time ... And overall, Ross's study delivers on its promise that investigating women's manuscript poetry will reveal a new understanding of women's altering relationship to the literary and to the political in seventeenth-century Britain (6). * Katharine Gillespie, Early Modern Women Journal *
