An Anthology of Seventeenth-century Fiction by Paul Salzman

Few readers today are aware of the vigorous prose experiments undertaken in the seventeenth century. This anthology presents a representative selection of that work, with examples from Aphra Benn, John Bunyan, William Congreve, Percy Herbert, and Thomas Dangerfield. Also included are Mary Wroth's feminist romance Urania and Margaret Cavendish's female utopia The Blazing World , in print here for the first time since their original publication.

Paul Salzman is an Emeritus Professor at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, as well as a Professor at Newcastle University in Newcastle, Australia. He has a large body of work on early modern literature. His most recent publications are Palgrave's Literature and Politics in the 1620s: 'Whisper'd Counsells,' and the essay collection Editing Early Modern Women (co-edited with Sarah C. Smith).
