Abstract

The specially commissioned essays in <i>Women and Poetry, 1660-1750</i> address the multiplicity of female poetic practice and the public image of the woman poet between the Restoration and mid-eighteenth century. The volume includes biographically informative accounts of individual poets alongside detailed essays that discuss the different contexts and poetic traditions shaping women's poetry in this key period in literary history. <i>Women and Poetry, 1660-1750</i> draws together a wealth of recent scholarship from a strong cast of contributors (including Germaine Greer) into one accessible volume aimed at both students and specialist readers.
