This ambitious and timely collection puts into practice recent critical arguments about the nature of women's writings and the importance of occasional verse, familial poetry, letters, and petitions as characteristically women's work. This collection also situates Russell, a woman, squarely and influentially in the humanist tradition, and explores her important place in English letters. This edition moves the field of early modern women's studies into new territory, with its treatment of monumental verse as an integral part of Russell's oeuvre.
