内容説明・目次
内容説明
This collection of essays explores both fictional and actual female communities by early modern women in England. The authors investigate the restraints of gender in the period and the possibility of circumventing those constraints through the creation of distinct alternatives; namely female communities. These include the separist spaces of Mary Astell and Margaret Cavendish and the Arcadian retreats of Mary Wroth and Sarah Scott, as well as real life initiatives such as radical religions, sects and urban literary communities.
