Reviews
The essays in this collection add substantially to what is known about early modern women's work in book production and the culture of print. The volume has a nice balance of essays that sweep broadly through the archives and that focus on individual women printers, publishers, writers, booksellers, collectors, and readers. The scholarship is superb, including Valerie Wayne's outstanding introduction, and the intersection of the essays is unusually rich * Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal * An arresting and important volume that rethinks the role of women in book history. * Times Literary Supplement * The scholars here have performed impressive acts of archival investigation, much dust has been kicked up, but it has the benefit of clearing the air and making it possible to see the truly impressive busyness of business women, urban scavengers, and noble ladies of leisure alike. * Maureen Quilligan, Duke University, USA *
