Unnumbered Special Issue: "The Birthday of My Self": Martha Moulsworth, Renaissance Poet, guest-edited by Ann Depas-Orange and Robert C. Evans.
Martha Moulsworth's "Memorandum" (1632)--one of the first autobiographical poems in English--issues an early call for educational equality, provides an inside view of the life of a Renaissance woman, and is one of the few writings about widowhood by an early modern widow.
"The Birthday of My Self" offers original and modernized texts of Moulsworth's "Memorandum," notes and biographical background, and a broad range of critical approaches to the poem by student contributors from the first year of college to advanced graduate study.
Originating as an experiment in the integration of pedagogy and scholarship, this special issue of Critical Matrix is intended to address students and teachers in women's history, literature surveys, and advanced courses in literature and theory, to encourage the close reading and analysis of works by other early women writers that have missed the close attention they merit and reward, and to suggest how professors and students can work together as collaborators and colleagues.
Cosponsored by the National Council on Public History.
