Domesticity and Dissent in the Seventeenth Century: English Women Writers and the Public Sphere Book

In Domesticity and Dissent Gillespie examines writings by seventeenth-century English Puritan women who fought for religious freedom. Seeking the right to preach and prophesy, women such as Katherine Chidley, Anna Trapnel, Elizabeth Poole, and Anne Wentworth envisioned the modern political principles of toleration, the separation of church from state, privacy, and individualism. Gillespie takes the 'pamphlet literatures' of the seventeenth century as important subjects for analysis, and her study contributes to the growing scholarship on the revolutionary writings that emerged during the volatile years of the mid-seventeenth-century Civil War in England.Read More
