摘要
This essay offers a survey of the current state of scholarship in the field of women's writing in seventeenth-century Ireland. It begins by charting advances made in the past decade in rendering primary texts available, primarily via anthologies. It then delineates the historical, ethnic and linguistic contexts for women's textual production in Ireland. The essay argues that genre is an apposite category of analysis for this material. It discusses Gaelic poetry, nuns' writing, depositions, petitions, coterie poetry and autobiography. It concludes by pointing to further avenues for research and critical analysis.
