Reviews

This is an outstanding contribution to women's writing in Ireland-an impeccable, original, and genuinely transformative work of scholarship. It is an extraordinarily rich and insightful volume. The volume has multiple virtues; a capacious sense of what constitutes life-writing, the concentration on a particular national-regional configuration, the use of Ireland as experience and point of reference, and the concentration of Ireland as a site and a stimulus. This is a work, then, considerably larger than the sum of its parts. -Ramona Wray, reader in Renaissance literature in the School of English at Queen's University Belfast -- Ramona Wray This volume will serve as a landmark contribution to both Irish studies and early modern women's literary history, offering not only essays on new authors and texts but also pointing the way forward for future work on this country's complex national identity and literary history. -Margaret J. M. Ezell, Distinguished Professor of English and the Sara and John Lindsey Chair of Liberal Arts at Texas A&M University -- Margaret J. M. Ezell
