The specially commissioned essays in this volume address the multiplicity of female poetic practice and the public image of the woman poet between the Restoration and mid-18th century. The volume includes biographically informative accounts of individual poets alongside detailed essays which discuss the different contexts and poetic traditions shaping women’s poetry in this key period in literary history. Women and Poetry, 1660-1750 draws together a wealth of scholarship from a strong cast of contributors (including Germaine Greer) into one accessible volume aimed at both students and specialist readers.
