"These two editions bring us one step closer to making women and their legacies part of the center, rather than the edge. As Dowd reminds us, early modern women’s history and literature is still seen as marginal by the academy itself (262). This relegation to the margin can only be remedied if early modernists start embracing women, their histories, and their texts as integral parts of early modern studies. The essays in these two editions encourage their readers to do just that."- Lotte Fikkers, Leiden University, Journal of Early Modern History 25 (2021). Joint review with Women on the Edge in Early Modern Europe, Lisa Hopkins, Aidan Norrie, (eds), Amsterdam University Press, 2019 "Read as a whole, Gendered Temporalities is a powerful testament to the ongoing vitality of feminist frameworks for engaging material history, literary criticism, and theoretical debate."- Melissa E.
