Summary

This study explores why women in the English Renaissance wrote so few sonnet sequences in comparison with Continental women writers and English male authors. Rosalind Smith examines the relationship between gender and genre in the early modern period, and the critical assumptions currently underpinning questions of feminine agency within genre.

Author Biography
