“…So if he was inventing an English literature, this literature centrally included Englished texts of classical and contemporary continental authors. 81 The catalogues of his publications printed as advertisements at the back of some of his editions clearly demonstrate that the translated works of foreign wits were an integral part of Moseley's oeuvre, as they had been for many English printers and publishers since Caxton's time. 82 The section of "New and Excellent Romances" consists entirely of works whose titles advertise that they were first written in French (mostly), Spanish or Italian by this or that famous wit, and then "Englished" by this or that English person of honour.…”

In the English edition published at London in 1603, John Florio and Samuel Daniel described Montaigne's Essais as a work of transnational literature. Consider what the paratexts and associated documents reveal about the circumstances of production of this translation. 2 Florio, whose father had taken him to Switzerland during the Marian exile, was teaching Italian and French in noble aristocratic households that employed many fellow religious refugees as tutors. These languages were needed by his noble mistresses and their male relatives for the entertainment of important strangers present in England -and in their homes -for diplomatic purposes, whether official or unofficial. The households' collections -including those of the tutors themselves

This Handbook is a research-based book that attempts to define the field, and to gesture towards future configurations in the light of developments over the past thirty years. The Handbook will build on and complement existing overviews of early modern women’s writing but will have a more conceptual and theoretical focus in addition to extending historical and critical work. It will also integrate the disciplinary challenges raised by early modern women’s writing more fully into critical work on the Renaissance—again, this differentiates this work from other wide-ranging volumes on the topic. It seeks, through a range of approaches, to ask larger questions about women’s writing and its relationship(s) to writing and culture more generally. Implicitly it questions the category of ‘women’s’ writing, by examining how far gender and constructions of gender inflect authorship, reception, and style, and how we can integrate provisional and partial identifications into our understanding of early modern women’s discourse. We are keen to integrate intersectionality into the analysis of early modern women’s writing, focusing on a range of key issues—region, class, race, ethnic identity, marital status, profession, language. In particular, the chapters will interrogate the degree to which women’s writings and their innovations in fact spearhead a number of key developments in thought and writing over the course of the seventeenth century. The emphasis throughout is on innovation as a response to specific cultural, ideological and sometimes very local conditions.
