- Summary:
- Virginia Woolf described fictions as 'grossly material things' rooted in their physical and economic contexts. This book takes Woolf's hint and asks who made the books of the English Renaissance. It covers the ways in which women participated as co-authors, editors, translators, patrons, printers, readers and booksellers.
