This work about women writers in the English Renaissance challenges our notion of the Shakespearean period by drawing us into the lives of four women who were committed to their craft.
What The Reviewers Say
[A] fascinating excavation of four intellectual powerhouse women of the 16th and early 17th centuries.
Lanyer’s case may not persuade, but Ms. Targoff’s does: These little-known female voices widen our lens onto a past we thought we knew..
This is a very readable but scholarly work on a little-known part of literary history..
While intended for both scholarly and general readers, Shakespeare’s Sisters is more academic in tone and can be overwhelming for those who don’t already know much about the era..
