| Summary: | "Women, Race and Writing in the Early Modern Period" is an extraordinary achievement. Superbly edited by two of the leading scholars in Renaissance studies, the volume is an incisive, interdisciplinary examination of one of the most neglected areas in current scholarship. Using literary, historical, anthropological and medical materials, the contributors explore an important intersection within the major era of European imperial expansion. The volume examines the conditions of women's writing and the problems of female authorship in the period; the tensions between recent feminist criticism and the questions of "race," empire and colonialism; as well as issues of post-colonial theory and recent African writing |
