Abstract:

Located at the intersection of historical pragmatics, letters and manuscript
studies, this book offers a multi-dimensional analysis of the letters of Joan
and Maria Thynne, 1575-1611. It investigates multiple ways in which
socio-culturally and socio-familially contextualized reading of particular
collections may increase our understanding of early modern letters as a
particular type of handwritten communicative activity. The book also adds to
our understanding of these women as individual users of English in their
historical moment, especially in terms of literacy and their engagement with
cultural scripts. Throughout the book, analysis is based on the manuscript
letters themselves and in this way several chapters address the importance of
viewing original sources to understand the letters' full pragmatic
significance. Within these broader frameworks, individual chapters address the
women's use of scribes, prose structure and punctuation, performative speech
act verbs, and (im)politeness, sincerity and mock (im)politeness.
