Patterns, Outliers, and Teasers: Questions and Challenges for the Reception of Early Modern Women’s Writing
The textual terrain: Developments and directions in women's writing, 1500–1700
This article assesses our much-expanded view of the texts produced by early modern women in Ireland, surveying what is available to present-day researchers and considering emerging methodologies for the analysis of early modern female voices. The range of genres with which we now know early modern women engaged owes much to feminist literary historians’ capacious approach to defining literature, expanding beyond traditionally elite genres (drama,…
The Cultural Dynamics of Reception
The cultural dynamics of reception are best understood as a reiterative process of reshaping and reframing. Reception as an object of critical study embraces first the history of how texts were read, disseminated, and consumed across media, languages, and geographical regions. But if this is the first port of call, such analysis quickly draws in questions about the relationship between reception and production, audience and agency, about contempo…

Whither the archipelago? Stops, starts, and hurdles on the four nations front
This article assesses the impact of “the new British,” or “three kingdoms,” “four nations,” “archipelagic” history, and literary criticism. First advocated in the 1970s by J.G.A. Pocock, and co‐opted by historians and scholars of early modern literature as a means to frame and address the interactions of the four nations of Britain, the take‐up on the ground has been fitful. Richard Bourke has recently argued that Pocock's original call was misun…

Women’s Writing in Seventeenth‐Century Ireland
This essay offers a survey of the current state of scholarship in the field of women’s writing in seventeenth‐century Ireland. It begins by charting advances made in the past decade in rendering primary texts available, primarily via anthologies. It then delineates the historical, ethnic and linguistic contexts for women’s textual production in Ireland. The essay argues that genre is an apposite category of analysis for this material. It discusse…
Identity Politics and Nuns’ Writing
This article focuses on the texts produced in the seventeenth century by the English and Irish nuns of the Order of St Clare in order to explore questions of individual and collective authorship, the expression of identity, and the exercise of political agency. It examines the conditions of exile, persecution, and internal controversy, arguing that translation, in particular, is the vehicle for asserting a range of competing positions pertaining …
Redeeming Parcels of Time: Aesthetics and Practice of Occasional Meditation
The Elizabethan Richard Rogers repeatedly expresses in his diary a deep anxiety about the dangers of wandering thoughts. His constant struggle for spiritual well-being is framed in terms of the 'sober course' of meditation and prayer, and the 'wandring, uncertaine, and frutless course' of unregimented time. Cheerfulness is maintained only by holy exercises, which suppress 'idle wandringes after the world, frowardnes, or such other boisterous corr…
