 abstract = {In herSociable Letters, first published in 1664, the Duchess of Newcastle spoke of her literary productions as ‘paper bodies,’ a brilliantly memorable phrase that provides the title for a recent selection of her writing. As the editors of this selection note, Newcastle described her first book (Poems and Fancies, published in 1653) ‘as a kind of substitute for physical offspring: “Condemne me not for making such a coyle / About my Book, alas it is my Childe.”’¹ In these lines, Newcastle uses the familiar reproductive metaphor, according to which the author is the parent of the work and writing},
