Abstract

This essay examines An Collins's Divine Songs and Meditacions as a means of investigating the relation between devotional and gendered subjectivity. The instability of Collins's devotional identity overlaps with her position as a feminine subject who, in the process of inscribing her spiritual life, dissents from early modern gender norms.
