Representing Women in Renaissance England

Claude J. Summers

4/5 ( ratings)

Focusing on women as writers and as subjects of Renaissance nondramatic literature, the 15 original essays in this volume share the belief that hierarchically ordered male-female relations influence nearly all aspects of human and social relations, including those that are apparently not gendered at all. Some of the essays participate in the exciting process of recovering and evaluating women writers whose works are only now entering the canon of English literature, while others examine gender issues in male-authored canonical texts.
