      abstract = {This book addresses the place of women writers in  anthologies and other literary collections in  eighteenth-century England. It explores and contextualizes  the ways in which two different kinds of printed  material--poetic miscellanies and biographical  collections--complemented one another in defining  expectations about the woman writer. Far more than the  single-authored text, it was the collection in one form or  another that invested poems and their authors with  authority. By attending to this fascinating cultural  context, Chantel Lavoie explores how women poets were  placed posthumously in the world of eighteenth-century  English letters. Investigating the lives and works of four  well known poets--Katherine Philips, Aphra Behn, Anne  Finch, and Elizabeth Rowe--Lavoie illuminates the way in  which celebrated women were collected alongside their  poetry, the effect of collocation on individual  reputations, and the intersection between bibliography and  biography as female poets themselves became curiosities. In  so doing, Collecting Women contributes to the understanding  of the intersection of cultural history, canon formation,  and literary collecting in eighteenth-century England.},
