초록
This essay aims to cultivate critical dialogues on early modern women’s engagement with religion through literature. Examining the autobiography of spiritual verse by the mid seventeenth-century Englishwoman An Collins, I explore the ways in which religious consciousness interplays with the gendered and afflicted female body. With a focus on Collins’ Divine Songs and Meditacions (1653), a collection written by a woman who suffered from disabilities and its anguish during her whole life, I look in particular at the ways in which a disabled woman constructs her autobiographical subject and complicates early modern beliefs about the mutually constitutive relationship between physical and spiritual affliction.
