The first scholarly edition of the known writings of Jane Cavendish, this volume presents a wide-ranging collection as possible of works and historical documents pertaining to a particularly compelling figure from the English Civil War. "Bennett's edition of Jane Cavendish will prove to be an indispensable resource and guide for both scholars producing new research on Cavendish's writings and students encountering her work for the first time. The extensive archival research and the sound scholarship on which the edition is based will maintain its status as the definitive edition of Jane Cavendish's works for the foreseeable future." - Mihoko Suzuki, University of Miami
