The reading Salzman has undertaken for this project is very comprehensive: he helpfully corrects the mistakes in the literature, a process that happens rather too rarely in critical works.

Elizabeth Clarke, The Review of English Studies

Salzman focuses most rewardingly... on how early modern women writers were perceived in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries... Salzman's account leaves much for scholars to question, including whether the Victorians favoured the same early modern women as the Romantics, and why Elizabeth I was treated so badly by anthologists

Elizabeth Scott-Baumnann, Times Literary Supplement

Salzman['s]...engaging new monograph...is invaluable...a capable conspectus of and a significant contribution to its subject. Students and researchers alike will be grateful for what Salzman has achieved in this book.

The Cambridge Quarterly, Volume 36, Number 4

Crammed with judicious summaries of the current state of knowledge... it is destined to be poured over by specialists as well as by those seeking a reliable and readable introduction to an extremely complex field

Kate Lilley, Australian Book Review

This book contains the first comprehensive account of writing by women from the mid sixteenth century through to 1700. At the same time, it traces the way a representative sample of that writing was published, circulated in manuscript, read, anthologised, reprinted, and discussed from the time it was produced through to the present day. Salzman's study covers an enormous range of women from all areas of early modern society, and it covers examples of the many and varied genres produced by these women, from plays to prophecies, diaries to poems, autobiographies to philosophy. As well as introducing readers to the wealth of material produced by women in the early modern period, this book examines changing responses to what was written, tracing a history of reception and transmission that amounts to a cultural history of changing taste.

Most people, even within the area of English literature, are unaware of how much writing women produced in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This book offer a clear, coherent outline of that writing, and also looks at how it was read and reproduced through succeeding centuries down to the present day.
