Women's bookscapes in early modern Britain
reading, ownership, circulation
In thirteen essays, this publication investigates questions about early modern British women’s figurative, material, and cultural relationships with books. The volume’s three-part structure highlights case studies of individual readers and their libraries; analyses of readers and readership in the context of their interpretive communities; and new types of scholarly evidence - lists of confiscated books and convent rules, for example - as well as new methodologies and technologies for ongoing research.

N.N.W. Akkerman Invisible agents
women and espionage in seventeenth-century Britain
In this study Akkeman analyses the role of early modern women spies, demonstrating that the allegedly-male world of the spy was more than merely infiltrated by women. This contribution to the history of espionage details a series of case studies in which women, from playwright to postmistress, from lady-in-waiting to laundry woman, acted as spies, sourcing and passing on confidential information on account of political and religious convictions or to obtain money or power.
