Synopsis The Life of Mary Ward, Vol. 2 by : Mary Catharine Elizabeth Chambers
Excerpt from The Life of Mary Ward, Vol. 2: 1585 1645 The long delay which has intervened between the publication of the first volume of this work, and the completion which is now offered to the reader, has been occasioned by a variety of causes, and has not been altogether unfruitful and without its advantages. It has enabled the writer to avail herself of some very interesting documents which have come to light in Rome and elsewhere since the first volume was finished. But I regret to say that it is quite clear that many more documents of importance must be in existence of which we are not yet possessors, and that a far longer delay would have been necessary, if it had been possible to wait for the full elucidation of many points of the history which must now be left in some obscurity. But it seems better to finish the work while it can be finished, than to postpone the remainder indefinitely. The archives at Rome are slow in yielding their treasures, and it is out of the power either of the Author or the Editor of these volumes to accelerate the process.

Synopsis Mary Ward: First Sister of Feminism by : Sydney Thorne
The little-known story of the woman who walked 1,500 miles to Rome to challenge the pope in 1621. Four centuries ago, an Englishwoman completed an astonishing walk to Rome. A Catholic, Mary Ward had already defied the authorities in her native country. In 1621 she walked across Europe to ask the Pope to allow her to set up schools for girls. “There is no such difference between men and women that women may not do great things,” she said. But Mary’s vision of equality between men and women angered the Church, and the pope threw her into prison. Her story is not only fascinating in its own right—it also shines a refreshingly new light on the Tudor/Stuart era. Mary’s uncles are the Gunpowder Plotters. Her sponsors are archdukes, prince-archbishops, and the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. In Rome she spars with Pope Urban VIII and the Roman Inquisition, just as they are also dealing with the troublemaker Galileo. As the story sweeps from Yorkshire to Rome, from Vienna and Munich to Prague, and back to England, we see Mary dodging pirates in the Channel, witch hunts in Germany, and the plague in Italy. We see travelers crossing the Alps, and prisoners smuggling out letters written in invisible lemon juice. Ranging from the resplendent courts in Brussels and Munich to the siege of York in the English Civil War, this biography is a remarkable portrait of seventeenth-century European life.

Synopsis Women Writers in Renaissance England by : Randall Martin
Of all the new developments in literary theory, feminism has proved to be the most widely influential, leading to an expansion of the traditional English canon in all periods of study. This book aims to make the work of Renaissance women writers in English better known to general and academic readers so as to strengthen the case for their future inclusion in the Renaissance literary canon. This lively book surveys women writers in the sixteenth century and early seventeenth centuries. Its selection is vast, historically representative, and original, taking examples from twenty different, relatively unknown authors in all genres of writing, including poetry, fiction, religious works, letters and journals, translation, and books on childcare. It establishes new contexts for the debate about women as writers within the period and suggests potential intertextual connections with works by well-known male authors of the same time. Individual authors and works are given concise introductions, with both modern and historical critical analysis, setting them in a theoretical and historicised context. All texts are made readily accessible through modern spelling and punctuation, on-the-page annotation and headnotes. The substantial, up-to-date bibliography provides a source for further study and research.
