Women And the Pamphlet Culture of

An important study of the relationship between female agency and cheap print throughout the revolutionary decades 1640 to 1660, this book offers an analysis of the ways in which groups of non-aristocratic women circumvented a number of assumptions about female participation in the pamphlet culture of revolutionary England. Through analyses of both the rhetorical and material aspects of that culture, Marcus Nevitt demonstrates that some of the key political and religious debates of the 1640s and 50s were actually reliant upon the public silencing and exclusion of women.

Marcus Nevitt is a Lecturer in Renaissance Literature at the University of Sheffield, UK.
