"The fourth in the series of proceedings of the interdisciplinary conference sponsored by the Center for Renaissance & Baroque Studies at the University of Maryland, this volume reflects a commitment to the exploration of early modern women's culture as recovered through images, literature, music, and archives of the period. Scholars discuss early modern women's influence on the societal and cultural transformations in which they participated. Workshops from the conference are summarized, offering a detailed overview of current research in early modern women's studies. An introduction by Margaret Mikesell traces the development of early modern studies over the decade of the Center's sponsorship of the Attending to Early Modern Women symposia (1990-2000)."--BOOK JACKET
