Book Synopsis The Southwell-Sibthorpe Commonplace Book by : Lady Anne Southwell
Download or read book The Southwell-Sibthorpe Commonplace Book written by Lady Anne Southwell and published by Iter Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This edition of Folger MS. V.b.198 is titled The Southwell-Sibthorpe Commonplace Book with the name 'Southwell' first because the manuscript is predominantly made up of 'The workes of the Lady Ann Sothwell' (fol. 1r), née Harris, who was born in 1573, married Thomas Southwell in 1593 and, after his death in 1626, Captain Henry Sibthorpe. She died in 1636. The name 'Sibthorpe' is joined to that of 'Southwell' because he not only gave Lady Anne the folios at the time of their wedding and composed at least two entries (probably fol. 27 and certainly most of fols. 73 and 74), but also critiqued the poetry of the woman he praised so effusively. The last phrase of the title, 'commonplace book,' indicates that the collection of poems, letters, aphorisms, inventories, a mini-bestiary, scriptural commentary, and receipts resembles similar collections of the early seventeenth century, called commonplace books, which gentlemen frequently kept. Because Folger MS. V.b.198 contains memorabilia significant for both Lady Anne Southwell and Captain Henry Sibthorpe and illustrates interaction between husband and wife in the making of the volume, the result offers a unique example of the genre." --

Book Synopsis The Mother's Legacy in Early Modern England by : Jennifer Heller
Download or read book The Mother's Legacy in Early Modern England written by Jennifer Heller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using printed and manuscript texts composed between 1575 and 1672, Jennifer Heller defines the genre of the mother's legacy as a distinct branch of the advice tradition in early modern England that takes the form of a dying mother's pious counsel to her children. Reading these texts in light of specific cultural contexts, social trends, and historical events, Heller explores how legacy writers used the genre to secure personal and family status, to shape their children's beliefs and behaviors, and to intervene in the period's tumultuous religious and political debates. The author's attention to the fine details of the period's religious and political swings, drawn from sources such as royal proclamations, sermons, and first-hand accounts of book-burnings, creates a fuller context for her analysis of the legacies. Similarly, Heller explains the appeal of the genre by connecting it to social factors including mortality rates and inheritance practices. Analyses of related genres, such as conduct books and fathers' legacies, highlight the unique features and functions of mothers' legacies. Heller also attends to the personal side of the genre, demonstrating that a writer's education, marriages, children, and turns of fortune affect her work within the genre.

Book Synopsis Blotted Lines by : Adhaar Noor Desai
Download or read book Blotted Lines written by Adhaar Noor Desai and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blotted Lines rebuffs centuries of mythologization about the creative process—the idea that William Shakespeare "never blotted out line"—to argue that by studying how early modern writers faced the challenges of writing poetry, instructors today can empower their students' approaches to critical writing. Adhaar Noor Desai offers deeply researched accounts of how poetic labor intersected with early modern rhetorical theory, material culture, and social networks. Tracing the productive struggles of such writers as George Gascoigne, Philip Sidney, John Davies of Hereford, Lady Anne Southwell, and Shakespeare across their manuscripts, Desai identifies in their work instances of discomposition: frustration, hesitation, self-doubt, and insecurity. Inspired to unmake their poems so that they might remake them, these poets welcomed discomposition because it catalyzed ongoing thinking and learning. Blotted Lines brings literary scholarship into conversation with modern composition studies, challenging early modern literary studies to treat writing as both noun and verb and foregrounding the ways poetry and criticism alike can model for students the cultivation of patience, collaboration, and risk in their writing.
Book Synopsis Sharpening Her Pen by : Sidney L. Sondergard
Download or read book Sharpening Her Pen written by Sidney L. Sondergard and published by Susquehanna University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharpening Her Pen demonstrates how six early modern authors exploit, or evade, a rhetorical discourse founded upon images, tropes, and dialectics of violence to secure authorization for their work as writers and empowerment for the personal agendas unique to each of them. Rhetorical violence functions both as a literary phenomenon, facilitating the polemics of each author, and as an analytical methodology enabling scholars to derive meaning from a particular organic facet of a writer's intellectual structure. The subjects of the study represent a balance between writers who have received considerable scholarly attention (Elizabeth I, Aemilia Lanyer, and Lady Mary Wroth) and those who have received relatively little (Anne Askew, Anne Dorwiche, and Lade Anne Southwell). Exercising rhetorical strategies that reflect their idiosyncrasies as intellectuals, they share a canny awareness of the persuasive power, of violence in their age as physical reality and as metaphor.

Book Synopsis Elizabethan Rhetoric by : Peter Mack
Download or read book Elizabethan Rhetoric written by Peter Mack and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-10-17 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Mack examines the impact of humanist training in rhetoric and argument on a range of Elizabethan prose texts, including political orations, histories, romances, conduct manuals, privy council debates and personal letters. Elizabethan Rhetoric reconstructs the knowledge, skills and approaches which an Elizabethan would have acquired in order to participate in the political and religious debates of the time: the approaches to an audience, analysis and replication of textual structures, organisation of arguments and tactics for disputation. Study of the rhetorical codes and conventions in terms of which debates were conducted is currently a major area of historical and literary enquiry, and Mack provides a wealth of new information about what was taught and how these conventions were exploited in personal memoranda, court depositions, sermons and political and religious pamphlets. This important book will be invaluable for all those interested in the culture, literature and political history of the period.

Book Synopsis Debating Gender in Early Modern England, 1500–1700 by : C. Malcolmson
Download or read book Debating Gender in Early Modern England, 1500–1700 written by C. Malcolmson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-08-02 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the construction of gender ideology in early modern England through an analysis of the querelle des femmes - the debate about the relationship between the sexes that originated on the continent during the middle ages and the Renaissance and developed in England into the Swetnam controversy, which revolved around the publication of Joseph Swetnam's The arraignment of lewd, forward, and inconstant women and the pamphlets which responded to its misogynist attacks. The volume contextualizes the debate in terms of its continental antecedents and elite manuscript circulation in England, then moves to consider popular culture and printed texts from the Jacobean debate and its effects on women's writing and the developing discourse on gender, and concludes with an examination of the ramifications of the debate during the Civil War and Restoration. Essays focus attention on the implications of the gender debate for women writers and their literary relations, cultural ideology and the family, and political discourse and ideas of nationhood.
Book Synopsis Women Editing/Editing Women by : Chanita Goodblatt
Download or read book Women Editing/Editing Women written by Chanita Goodblatt and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-14 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays links current research in the writings and editing of early modern women and in those women who were themselves early editors with a new methodology of editing currently titled “the new textualism.” As such, the collection seeks to solve two problems. The first concerns the difficulty of editing the works of early modern women writers for whom there is little biographical data, a challenging task when the standard “life and works” format is thus inhibited. Second, related but slightly different, occurs because, although we know that there were women who edited in the early modern and even later periods, we know little about them as well. The new textualism approach to editing, which focuses on the material properties of the manuscript or book, its print or performance history and records of its dissemination, and the sociology of texts, provides a fruitful solution to both problems by broadening the concept of agency and hence provides a richer context for the production of a given text. The collection includes two sets of essays. One set has been reprinted from seminal works in the field of new textualism. These include writings by recognized figures like Jerome McGann, Leah Marcus, and Wendy Wall, among others. As such, that set provides background for the reading of the second, a group of six original essays by scholars now working in the field of early modern women writers who directly apply aspects of the new textualism in their research. The fusion of the research field of retrieving early modern women writers with the practices of new textualist editing is thus the core of this collection of essays and is illustrative of what can be achieved in the field of editing when this new approach to texts is put into practice.
Book Synopsis Reading Shakespeare’s Poems in Early Modern England by : S. Roberts
Download or read book Reading Shakespeare’s Poems in Early Modern England written by S. Roberts and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-11-19 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive study of early modern texts, readings, and readers of Shakespeare's poems in print and manuscript, Reading Shakespeare's Poems in Early Modern England makes a compelling contribution both to Shakespeare studies and the history of the book. Examining gendered readerships and the use of erotic works, reading practises and manuscript culture, textual forms and transmission, literary taste and the canonisation of Shakespeare, this book argues that historicist criticism can no longer ignore histories of reading.
