Early Modern Women's Complaint
This collection examines early modern women’s contribution to the culturally central mode of complaint. Complaint has largely been understood as male-authored, yet, as this collection shows, early modern women used complaint across a surprising variety of forms from the early-Tudor period to the late-seventeenth century. They were some of the mode’s first writers, most influential patrons, and most innovative contributors. Together, these new essays illuminate early modern women’s participation in one of the most powerful rhetorical modes in the English Renaissance, one which gave voice to political, religious and erotic protest and loss across a diverse range of texts. This volume int...
Sonnets and the English Woman Writer, 1560-1621
This study explores why women in the English Renaissance wrote so few sonnet sequences, in comparison with the traditions of Continental women writers and of English male authors. In this focus on a single genre, Rosalind Smith examines the relationship between gender and genre in the early modern period, and the critical assumptions currently underpinning questions of feminine agency within genre.
Material Cultures of Early Modern Women's Writing
This collection examines the diverse material cultures through which early modern women's writing was produced, transmitted, and received. It focuses on the ways it was originally packaged and promoted, how it circulated in its contemporary contexts, and how it was read and received in its original publication and in later revisions and redactions.
My Path to Praise: A Private Journey from Hell
If it were not for the mercy of God and His unfathomable provisions, this story might not have been told. Rosalind Smith's unvarnished memoir tells the story of her childhood and young adulthood growing up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It details how she, despite having earned several degrees, eventually spiralized into drugs and alcohol. With often brutal honesty, Lady Smith peels back the veneer and reveals the ugliness of her past-the generational sins that have affected her, her relationship with her family, her time homeless and on the streets, and an uncompromising act one night in her bathtub. She revisits her past, and praises God for her victorious present, praying that God will use her story to change someone's future.
Florence Nightingale on Women, Medicine, Midwifery and Prostitution

There is correspondence with women friends and colleagues from childhood to old age, on a vast range of subjects. Corre...

The Drama of Complaint
The Drama of Complaint: Ethical Provocations in Shakespeare's Tragedy is the first book-length study of complaint in Shakespearean drama. Emily Shortslef makes two main arguments. One is that poetic forms of complaint—expressions of discontent and unhappiness—operate in and across the period's literary and nonliterary discourses as sites of thought about human flourishing, the subject of ethical inquiry. The other is that Shakespearean configurations of these ubiquitous forms in theatrical scenes of complaint model new ways of thinking about ethical subjectivity, or ways of desiring, acting, and living consonant with notions of the good life. The Drama of Complaint develops these interlo...
