Professor Greer inaugurated the imprint in 1989 on the tercentenary of the death of Aphra Behn, with the publication of The Uncollected Verse of Aphra Behn. This was followed by The Collected Works of Katherine Philips, the Matchless Orinda, volumes I and II edited by Patrick Thomas, volume III by Professor Greer and Ruth Little. The third publication is The Surviving Works of Anne Wharton edited by Professor Greer and Susan Hastings. Professor Greer is at present working on an edition of the complete works of Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea.

Stump Cross Books can be acquired in two ways. You can put in an order through your academic library which will apply to a clearing house, in which case the institution pays the middleman's mark-up, or you can apply directly to us via the Internet, in which case the price you will pay is subsidised by Professor Greer, whose main aim is to get the seventeenth-century and eighteenth-century women poets better known. We have recently embarked on a policy of supplying only hardbacks to institutions (list price subject to the usual booksellers' discount); personal shoppers may choose between the hardback and a soft-cover format. Both are properly stitched and will not self-destruct.
