About 

This large scale (1-1.5 million word) digital encyclopaedia on early modern women’s writing from the English Reformation to the Restoration will focus on writing by or attributed to women, written in or translated into English, in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Europe, and the Americas. The Encyclopaedia will create a living and expanding digital research environment that can adapt to new lines of inquiry and also be amended as new information comes to hand; provide coverage of six established chronological periods: Early Tudor (1526-1557), Elizabethan (1558-1603), Jacobean (1603-1625), Caroline (1625-1649), the English Civil War and Interregnum (1642-1660) and Restoration (1660-1686); undertake further broad categories of analysis, including the theoretical, material, geographical, generic, and the thematic.
