Review
"Jane Stevenson, Peter Davidson, and their associates have performed a signal service by further amplifying the corpus of recovered verse by early modern women. For Early Modern Women Poets: An Anthology solidly and neatly extends the field of recovered women's poetry for our study.... Early Modern Women Poets has succeeded in demonstrating the variety of poems by early modern English women and in making them available in an attractive volume that is a must for the shelves of both beginning and advanced students of the early modern woman writer."--Renaissance Quarterly
Review
"The editors of this anthology of early modern women's poetry have achieved a remarkable feat: they have provided examples of the work of nearly two hundred female poets, forever putting to rest the claim that not many women in this period wrote poetry.... This rich and original book will change the landscape of early modern women's writing."--
