This is a critical edition of the correspondence between Astell and John Norris of Bemerton, which had a profound significance in 18th-century intellectual and religious circles and which represents a crucial step in the development of Norris and Astell's opposition to John Locke. 'Copiously annotated, with a lengthy list of emendations, these three texts offer a valuable guide to religious theories that have faded from contemporary prominence... This edition of Letters is insightful and valuable. In these editors' able hands, neither Letters nor its authors is allowed to remain static or isolated.' The Sciblerian '...a welcome addition to the scholarly reprints of Early Modern women's writing and philosophy, one that provides an impetus for the revision of twenty-first-century understandings of the work of Norris, Astell, Early Modern philosophy and intellectual and cultural history more broadly.'
