Women's writing in the British Atlantic world :memory, place and history, 1550-1700 /Kate Chedgzoy. - 1 online resource (viii, 267 pages) :digital, PDF file(s).

Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).

Introduction: 'A place on the map is also a place in history' -- 1. 'The rich Store-house of her memory': The metaphors and practices of memory work -- 2. 'Writing things down has made you forger' : Memory, orality and cultural production -- 3. Recollecting women from early modern Ireland, Scotland and Wales -- 4. 'Shedding teares for England's loss': Women's writing and the memory of war -- 5. Atlantic removes, memory's travels.

In this 2007 book, Kate Chedgzoy explores the ways in which women writers of the early modern British Atlantic world imagined, visited, created and haunted textual sites of memory. Asking how women's writing from all parts of the British Isles and Britain's Atlantic colonies employed the resources of memory to make sense of the changes that were refashioning that world, the book suggests that memory is itself the textual site where the domestic echoes of national crisis can most insistently be heard. Offering readings of the work of poets who contributed to the oral traditions of Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and analysing poetry, fiction and life-writings by well-known and less familiar writers such as Hester Pulter, Lucy Hutchinson and Aphra Behn, this book explores how women's writing of memory gave expression to the everyday, intimate consequences of the major geopolitical changes that took place in the British Atlantic world in the seventeenth century.
