Abstract
AbstractWhat new lines of inquiry and kinds of analysis are now available for unearthing such evidence as remains of female reading experiences and book ownershipin early modern England? This chapter showcases the latent potential of this already richly mapped field by outlining the latest directions for investigating and representing the books and reading of early modern women. A review of the terrain canvassed by the most recent generation of historians of reading leads to a critical overview of promising resources and approaches on the horizon, both of which direct us towards characterising networks of readers, their access to books, and techniques for studying them.
