Renaissance Woman: A Sourcebook: Constructions of Femininity in England


Add your own review!

Overview

A collection of critically-informed accounts of women and femininity in early modern England. The volume is divided thematically into nine sections, each with an accessible introduction, notes on sources and an annotated bibliography. The sections are theology, biology, conduct, sexuality and motherhood, politics and law, education, work, writing and speaking, and feminism. It brings together sources ranging from medical documents and political pamphlets to sermons and the Bible, as well as a range of literary sources. Providing a historical context to issues of gender in the Renaissance, it should be useful reading for students of the period, gender studies and cultural history.
