Abstract
This is a bibliography of prose fiction written by English women in the seventeenth century. It includes sections on general bibliographies, studies and anthologies, and on the various writers involved (Mary Wroth, Anna Weamys, Margaret Cavendish, Aphra Behn, Catherine Trotter, Mary Pix, and Delarivier Manley), each divided into primary and secondary sources.
Highlights
In the last twenty years there has been a revisión of literary history thanks to feminism, new historicism, cultural materialism and related critical trends
Few Spanish scholars have previously worked on English prose fiction of the seventeenth century, and even fewer on that written by women
Nowadays most of the texts are available in modern editions, and there is no longer any reason why Spanish critics should not contribute to the revisión of literary history. This bibliography attempts to list the texts of prose ñction written by women in the seventeenth century and to make a brief comment on their genre and editorial history, including any recently published editions, if any
