Estuarial Rage: Hester Pulter

I’ve got a new essay on Hester Pulter’s poem “The Complaint of Thames” out this spring in an edited volume titled, fabulously, Water and Cognition in Early Modern English Literature. My department put the cover up alongside my colleagues’ books; it’s lovely to be among friends!

I’m so excited to be a part of this volume, which is brimming with smart, complex, slow, multiple, generous, and generative thinking about thinking and water in well-known and lesser known early modern texts and cultural artifacts. The editing process, guided by Steve Mentz and Nic Helms, was remarkably smooth sailing (… sorry!) and I learned so much from reading my colleages’ chapters. Some of us got to toast the book in person this spring at the Shakespeare Association of America meeting in Portland, OR.

If you don’t have institutional access, email me and I’ll send a copy of my chapter, “Estuarial Rage and Resistance in Hester Pulter’s ‘The Complaint of Thames.’”
