Women Letter-Writers in Tudor England

Beschreibung

This is the most comprehensive study of women's letters and letter-writing in early modern England so far undertaken. Drawing on over 3,000 manuscript letters, Daybell shows that letter-writing was a larger and more socially diversified area of female activity than often thought.
