Women Writers and Familial Discourse in the English Renaissance

Sidney to Milton, 1580-1660
This invaluable guide offers readers an accessible and imaginative approach to the literature of early modern Britain.

Amongst other things, Wynne-Davies discusses sixteenth- and seventeenth-century poetry in its political and cultural contexts, considers Renaissance drama in terms of performance space, and uses the early modern map to explain the prose works of writers such as Bunyan and Cavendish.
