31 Early Modern Dutch and English Women Across Borders
Get accessMartine van Elk is a Professor of English at California State University, Long Beach. She has published extensively on early modern drama, Shakespeare, vagrancy, and early modern women writers. Early on in her career, she worked primarily on English drama with a concentration on Shakespeare and vagrancy. Her essays appeared in journals such as Studies in English Literature and Shakespeare Quarterly, while she also co-edited a collection of essays entitled Tudor Drama Before Shakespeare, which came out with Palgrave in 2004. Other publications include an edition of Gammer Gurton’s Needle for the Broadview Anthology of Medieval Drama (2013) and a chapter on Terence’s influence on early modern English drama for the Blackwell Companion to Terence (2013). Recently her interests have shifted decisively to writings by early modern women and in particular to developing comparative and cross-cultural approaches to their work. In 2017, her book Early Modern Women’s Writing: Domesticity, Privacy, and the Public Sphere in England and the Dutch Republic was published by Palgrave. Essays on English and Dutch women and emblems, women’s poetry, English and Dutch actresses and on two Dutch female playwrights have come out in edited collections and journals such as Early Modern Women and Early Modern Low Countries. She has published on book history in Bloomsbury’s Women’s Labour and the History of the Book in Early Modern England (2020), edited by Valerie Wayne, and on Dutch female glass engravers in Renaissance Quarterly (2020). Current projects include work as a section editor for the new Palgrave Encyclopedia of Early Modern Women’s Writing in English as well as a book-length comparative study of women on and behind the stage in England, the Dutch Republic, and France. Finally, she maintains two blogs, one entitled Early Modern Women: Texts, Lives, Objects, and the other Early Modern Female Book Ownership.

Abstract
England and the Dutch Republic had a complex relationship to each other in the early modern period. Recent scholarship has been exploring women transnationally, looking at how they crossed borders both in physical terms of travel and in less tangible ways. This chapter applies this approach to early modern women from England and the Dutch Republic by looking closely at examples of women who addressed Anglo-Dutch relationships in a variety of ways. The chapter explores intellectual networks and ties between women and men in England and the Dutch Republic; women stationers who moved between England and the Dutch Republic; and women’s poems about the other country. Using theories of the public sphere, the chapter examines how their work represented them as figures with public standing. They show the need for cross-cultural and transnational approaches that acknowledge the rich variety with which women looked across the Channel.
