Description: Women played a variety of roles in the production of early modern literature, many of which remain hidden from view under a model of single, solitary authorship. The contradiction between collaboration—whether literary, material, or both—and the very idea of women’s writing make this an area of investigation prone to conflict, just as it is in canonical studies. By way of introduction to a volume of new essays on gender and early modern literary collaboration, this chapter briefly surveys these conflicts and the development of collaborative authorial models within early modern feminist scholarship. It highlights the advantages of mixed-methods approaches to this topic, arguing that both book history and literary methods have much to offer in the analysis of early modern collaborations.
