Epistolary writing is a significant vehicle for early modern women's self-writing in England and Colonial America, providing women with a means to voice myriad concerns of their lives. Early modern women write in the epistolary mode about personal triumphs and trials, the events of daily life, public duties and events, romantic and familial love---in short, of the large and small elements that compose the fabric of real lives.

520 $a Epistolary writing is a significant vehicle for early modern women's self-writing in England and Colonial America, providing women with a means to voice myriad concerns of their lives. Early modern women write in the epistolary mode about personal triumphs and trials, the events of daily life, public duties and events, romantic and familial love---in short, of the large and small elements that compose the fabric of real lives.
520 $a The epistolary self-writing of early modern women illuminates the issues and conflicts of their lives in ways that amplify what we can learn from other kinds of texts. This genre resides between public and private in a sometimes uneasy space that paradoxically both frees and inhibits. Thus, epistolary writing is a particularly rich site for exploring early modern women's self-writing for both private and social uses. The epistolary genre is consistently shaped by concerns with purpose, audience, and "truth" as well as questions exploring the boundaries between public and private so as to highlight problems of identity-formation and expression.
520 $a To understand the uniqueness and complexity of the epistolary genre and to provide an account of the epistolary form in relation to women of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, it is necessary to bring together numerous related aspects of early modern women's lives. Chapter one locates epistolary writing as a distinct part of the broader genre of women's self-writing. Understanding the significance of the epistolary genre as practiced by early modern women calls for examining contextually such issues as women's culturally prescribed roles and their position(s) as writers. The chapter also links early modern women with the tradition of medieval women's epistolary writing, providing a historical context for the genre's further development in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Following the introductory chapter, subsequent chapters investigate the epistolary self-writing of four women of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Studies of Margaret More Roper, Queen Elizabeth I, Anne Bradstreet, and Dorothy Osborne Temple foreground the relationship between the epistolary form and other literary and social contexts and explore how each of these women interrogates her sense of identity via the epistolary genre.
