A poor gentlewoman that cannot take mercenary courses for her bread’
This article presents a case study of the life of Frances Wright, an Englishwoman whose domestic circumstances brought her into contact with England’s colonial projects in the mid-to-late seventeenth century. It argues that English colonial expansion had an impact on the self-perception and behaviours of ordinary English people, as well as the elite, and discusses how English men and women from all walks of life came to define their social positi…
The Queer Poetics of Hester Pulter's Poem, “Of a Young Lady at Oxford, 1646”
Hester Pulter's poem about a young woman's suicide after the death of her lover in battle has been described by Leah Knight and Wendy Wall and a representation of an event that “sounds like a cross between melodrama and a news bulletin”. Drawing on Hilary Maddicott's work on the death of Margaret Lemon in Oxford, this article highlights a number of contemporary literary and newsbook sources that describe such a suicide. Pulter's poem, rather than…
Aphra Behn’s first marriage
This article discusses three new documents that seem to pertain to the early life of the Restoration playwright, Aphra Behn. These documents suggest that Behn was betrothed in 1657 to a gentleman named John Halse; that she corresponded from London in the mid 1660s with William Scot, son of the parliamentarian and regicide Thomas Scot; and that, after her journey to Flanders as a spy, she borrowed money from the Devonshire Butler family to facilit…

The Poetics of Literary Transfer in Early Modern France and England
Hassan Melehy is very clear about the aims and methodologies of The Poetics of Literary Transfer in Early Modern France and England. “This book,” he writes, “is about the formation of the literary canons in early modern France and England, by way of readings of four authors whose work displays a concern for the role of a literary canon in an emergent national state” (1). The four authors in question—Joachim Du Bellay, Edmund Spenser, Michel Monta…

Middleton And The Continent
There is no evidence that Middleton ever visited the Continent, but it is clear from his writing that he read widely in Italian, French, and Spanish sources, usually, if not always, in the original languages. This article investigates some of his borrowings and the ways in which he and his collaborators represented foreign characters, languages, and political affairs on the English stage. Taking its spirit from A Mad World, My Masters' gloriously…
