Description

Book Synopsis
The story of “Shakespeare’s sister” that Virginia Woolf tells in A Room of One’s Own has sparked interest in the question of the place of the woman writer in the Renaissance. By now, the process of recovering lost voices of early modern women is well under way.

Trade Review
“Greene’s anthology is a treasury of contemporary scholarship and insight about ‘the period Woolf loved best’ (208 n. 12). One might go so far as to say that it is a revenant of Judith Shakespeare who has now been given a scholarly dimension if not voice.” * Doane College *
“…Virginia Woolf: Reading the Renaissance is worth dissection and study, if only to apreciate fully what is perhaps the collection’s most notable achievement: the contrast and comparison of one visionary age and its artists with another.” * Virginia Woolf Bulletin *
