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. 000451847 650_0 $$aEnglish poetry$$xWomen authors$$xHistory and criticism. 000451847 650_0 $$aEnglish poetry$$y18th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000451847 650_0 $$aWomen in literature. 000451847 650_0 $$aAnthologies$$xHistory and criticism. 000451847 650_0 $$aWomen authors, English$$vBiography$$xHistory and criticism. 000451847 650_0 $$aWomen and literature$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory$$y18th century. 000451847 830_0 $$aBucknell studies in eighteenth-century literature and culture. 000451847 85200 $$bgen$$hPR113$$i.L38$$i2009 000451847 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:451847$$pGLOBAL_SET 000451847 980__ $$aBIB 000451847 980__ $$aBOOK
