The Poetry of Gertrude More: Piety and Politics in a Benedictine Convent – “In 1623, a seventeen-year-old girl named Helen More set out from England to help found a Benedictine convent in France. Too high spirited for convent life, Dame Gertrude (as she became known) struggled to adapt until she encountered the mystic teachings of Augustine Baker. Yet More’s newfound peace was not to last. As controversy swirled around Baker’s ideas and led to his expulsion from the convent, More wrote poems defending herself and him. This edition presents the first full-scale critical edition of More’s poetry, with versions aimed at scholarly and non-scholarly audiences. Read on to discover an independent thinker whose fierce commitment to spiritual freedom stopped at nothing.”
“The Mad Exploit She Had Undertaken”: A Digital Critical Edition of Eliza Haywood’s The Female Spectator, Book 14, Letter 1 – “The story of the so-called “Aliena” appearing in the third of Eliza Haywood’s four-volume The Female Spectator—largely considered the first periodical by a woman, for women— is the story of a woman who dresses in military garb to pass as a sailor to remain in close proximity to the lover who jilted her. In this letter to the editor complete with editorial commentary, Haywood blends narrative techniques of fiction with the seductive allure of the “true story” using the warrior woman trope. Printed as a four-volume set of (not articles but) “books,” The Female Spectator occupied a “higher” literary status than the cheaply printed broadside ballads in the long 18th century. This letter from The Female Spectator provides a mid-to-upper-class stance on the woman warrior trope—which the commentator portrays as a “mad exploit” that is both “unfortunate” and ill-advised.”
“An Undisputed Right to this Offering”: A Digital Critical Edition of Eliza Haywood’s Dedicatory Epistle of The Female Spectator to Juliana Colyear, Duchess of Leeds – This free edition is part of Kelly’s project to make portions of–and eventually the whole of–Haywood’s historically, critically important and acclaimed periodical glossed and edited, and available to a wider audience that includes scholars, graduate and undergraduate students.
The Warrior Women Project – “A collaboration between The English Broadside Ballad Archive (EBBA) and a team in the English Department at Wayne State University, the WWP is a collaborative experiment in creating a digital home for the 113 “Warrior Women” ballads originally catalogued by Professor Dianne Dugaw for the index of her 1982 dissertation, The Female Warrior Heroine in Anglo-American Balladry.“
