  • Summary

    This chapter explores the theoretical and practical concerns at play in our anthology of Women Poets of the English Civil War, a student-focused edition of poetry by Hester Pulter, Anne Bradstreet, Katherine Philips, Margaret Cavendish, and Lucy Hutchinson. Tensions between the generic, stylistic, and material diversity of early modern women’s writing and the normative model of the mainstream anthology have generated provocative discussions of the gender politics of anthologizing. Against that background, we argue for the ongoing need to make early modern women's poems available for the classroom in modernized, accessible form--in the form that student readers encounter Shakespeare and other canonical poets. Our modernization of these women's poems encourages formalist readings that take seriously women's poetic engagements, while our choices of multiple copytexts enable us to represent that complex mediation and production of women poets of the Civil War. Exploring the competing demands of getting women poets into the canon, encouraging formalist reading, and reflecting the historicity of the poetic text, we argue that there is a still-urgent need for anthologies such as Women Poets of the English Civil War in taking early modern women's writing to the student reader.
