The case studies included in the volume represent women writers from various European countries and comparatively reflect the nuances of their participation in a burgeoning commercial market for authors while profiting as much from patronage. From self-representation as professional writers to literary reception, the challenges of reputation, financial hardships, and relationships with editors and colleagues, the essays in this collection show from different theoretical standpoints and linguistic areas that gender biases played a far less limiting role in women’s literary writing than is commonly assumed, while they determined the relationship between moneymaking, self-representation, and publishing strategies.

The volume approaches prophecy as a culture, a language, and a catalyst for collective change as the individual prophet conceptualized it.
"In sum, Font's book is a significant contribution to the study of seventeenth-century culture and the writings it produced, and Font's continual focus on issues to do with voice and social change is admirable." -- Rachel Adcock, Keele University.
"Font's work is an enthusiastic and thought-provoking contribution to the study of seventeenth-century literature, and it helps highlight a complex genre ripe for further investigation." -- Claie McGann, Lancaster University.
"Early modern women's prophecy has been the subject of much scholarly interest of late. This fascinating study treats prophecy as genre and culture, expanding our understand of women's speech, lives and writing in the seventeenth century in new and original ways." -- Mary Spongberg, University Technology Sydney.

La revolución puritana, proclive a una concepción esencialista y revelacionista del orden de las cosas, tanto en materia científica como en política y religiosa, se vio abocada a una reformulación conceptual tras la restauración monárquica de Carlos II, entre la que se contaba una voluntad de profesionalizar el conocimiento, el método y la práctica científica. Ello favorecía una aproximación a los saberes de naciones rivales tanto en casa como en el nuevo mundo.
El presente artículo propone una aproximación a los matices de estos debates científico-religiosos que sacaron a la luz la necesidad de reformar e integrar el saber humanista del siglo xvi con las corrientes más experimentales. La figura del médico y autor Henry Stubbe, y su obra The Indian Nectar, or a Discourse concerning Chocolata (1662) pone de manifiesto las dificultades para integrar el saber humanista y empírico, así como sus puntos de contacto con las nuevas estructuras de pensamiento científico, político y religioso a las que se ve obligado a adaptarse.

The idea of a physical display of God’s possession became a marker of identity of the first generation of Quakers, of the persecuted Huguenots of the Cevennes, and of some Jansenist groups. However, the idea of the body as a prophetic theater was not alien to many people and groups in early modern times, as evidenced by the case of the Sabbatians. While these intense charismatic phenomena were perceived by those who experienced them as intense manifestations of the divine, their representation was used to vilify, denigrate, and ridicule these religious nonconformists. The theological and philosophical discussions about religious "Enthusiasm" were at the center of the confessional polemics of early modern times.
