The first edited collection of scholarly essays to focus exclusively on An Collins, this volume examines the significance of an important religious and political poet from seventeenth-century England. The book celebrates Collins's writing within her own time and ours through a comprehensive assessment of her poetics, literary, religious and political contexts, critical reception, and scholarly tradition. An Collins and the Historical Imagination engages with the complete arc of research and interpretation concerning Collins's poetry from 1653 to the present. The volume defines the center and circumference of Collins scholarship for twenty-first century readers. The book's thematically linked chapters and appendices provide a multifaceted investigation of An Collins's writing, religious and political milieu, and literary legacy within her time and ours.
