Jane Barker, Exile - King, Kathryn (Associate Professor of English, Associate Professor of English, University of Montevallo, Alabama)

Jane Barker (1652-1732), English poet and novelist, is one of the most important women writers to enter the early modern literary marketplace. This book, the first biography of her writing career, reconstructs her readerships, explores the Catholic-Jacobite underpinnings of her work, and traces her passage into print.
