    Announcing a new series from Ashgate-

    The Early Modern Englishwoman, 1500-1750: Contemporary Editions

    Series Editors: Betty S. Travitsky and Patrick Cullen

    Designed to complement The Early Modern Englishwoman: A Facsimile
    Library of Essential Works, this series presents both modernized and
    old-spelling editions of texts not only by women but also for and about
    women. The contents of a volume can range from a single text to an
    anthology, and editorial methodology is also flexible, the choice
    depending on the subject and audience.

    Proposals should take the form of either

    1) a preliminary letter of inquiry, briefly describing the project; or
    2) a formal prospectus including: a c.v., prospectus (including a
    description of the text or texts to be edited, a justification of the
    need for an edition, a description of editorial methodology, an overview
    of the introduction, and an estimate of the length of the book, number
    of illustrations, and date of completion), and a sample of edited text
    with a photocopy of the original text.

    Please send three copies of either type of proposal (one to each of the
    series editors and one to the publisher) to the addresses below:

    Betty S. Travitsky
    1890 E. 12th Street
