Subject/Object and Beyond cover

A collection of essays on early modern women from a collection of leading figures in the field.

Subject/Object and Beyond brings together essays by established and emerging scholars to honor the exceptionally rich contributions and career of scholar Colette H. Winn. It also celebrates fifty years of sustained scholarship on early modern women, along with the foundation of Women’s Studies as a recognized academic discipline in North America. The collection comprises seventeen articles that explore multiple perspectives on early modern women, including their writings, translations, reception, and contributions to various fields, including literature, music, politics, religion, and science.

“These essays give a sense of the really broad and incredibly varied swath of studies in early modern literature and culture that Colette Winn has influenced and helped to cultivate. The field of studying early modern women/writers is an incredibly vibrant, rich, and complex one, with really exciting things happening on many fronts." -- Nora Peterson, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
“…une contribution substantielle aux études sur les femmes de la première modernité.” -- Luc Vaillancourt, Université de Quebec à Chicoutimi
