Abstract

This chapter contextualises the representations of women's authorship and efforts to publish in Lloyd Malcolm's Emilia within the historical realities and practices of the early modern book trade. This chapter reveals how publications by the historical Emilia (Lanier) Bassano, Mary Sidney, and other women from the time offer clear evidence that while gender-biased restrictions may have challenged women’s authorial aspirations, they ultimately did not silence them. As a result, this essay examines intersections of early modern perceptions of gender and moments of writing and publication in Emilia in order to better understand how Emilia’s quest for self-representation is in large part a response to this relationship
