Abstract
In striking contrast to the modern penitentiary, the early modern English prison was porous, unsystematic, and contingent, governed by particular and shifting relationships. Molly Murray recovers this vibrantly irregular prison world as an important site of textual production. By considering the various textual artifacts produced in and around the early modern prison, especially one obscure manuscript psalter produced in the Tower, she offers a new way of imagining both the conditions and consolations of prison writing-especially prison poetry.
