Abstract
The surviving literary works of Lady Hester Pulter (1605–78), comprising over 100 occasional, devotional, and emblem poems, and an original prose romance, survive in a single manuscript (Brotherton Collection MS Lt q 32) now preserved in the Leeds University Library. The manuscript, compiled between 1655 and 1661, remained widely unknown until Mark Robson first brought it to scholarly attention in 1996. Above all, it is notable for Pulter's engagement with a diverse range of literary genres, for her playful experimentation with form, and for her passionately opinionated and highly personal engagement with the political and intellectual debates of her time.
