Synopsis:

This collection is the first detailed study of women as the subjects of writing and as writers in medieval and early modern Scottish literature. Drawing on a wide variety of literary, cultural, religious and historical sources in Scots, Gaelic, and English, the essays examine how the subject of 'Woman' is represented, and explore the self-creation or self-representation of 'writing women'. The volume offers a new vision of how and why Scottish writers use the female subject to explore ideas of artistic, cultural and political import, and uncovers the role of early Scottish women as poets, translators, and devotional writers. In giving a voice to these 'silenced' writers and by employing feminist perspectives, the collection presents a rich, and previously ignored or unknown, medieval and Renaissance culture of 'Woman' and the feminine.
