Editing what is Lost: Histories, Metatexts and the Extant Letters of Elizabeth Cary
This article argues that the editorial history of Elizabeth Cary’s letters has powerfully influenced how the letters are read and understood today. In particular, it suggests that an editorial organisation that cleaves to Cary’s conversion has had a narrowing effect, straightjacketing the letters as “conversion writing” and underplaying the significances of texts actually enmeshed in a more expansive range of epistolary activity. The article forw…

Browne's deployment of hagiographical tropes in her History of the Poor Clares may reveal the potential impact of Iberian conventual culture; her …
