内容简介

Early modern autobiographies and diaries provide a unique insight into women's lives and how they represented themselves. Sharon Seelig analyzes the writings of six seventeenth-century women: Margaret Hoby, Anne Clifford, Lucy Hutchinson, Ann Fanshawe, Anne Halkett, and the extraordinary Margaret Cavendish. Combining a fresh account of the development of autobiography with close and attentive reading of the texts, this important contribution to the fields of early modern literary studies and gender studies illuminates the interactions between literature and autobiography.
