A superb book that shows the things said about Howard are inseparable from the unfounded suppositions about women common at the time. This is shown in part through a number of literary texts. Of special interest to me is chapter 2, which looks at the masques and other entertainments written by Jonson, Daniel, and others in which Howard participated. Absolutely fascinating.
Read something similar to this - will have to discover if it is just a different title for a different country.
