Preview Women, Texts and Histories 1575-1760

Description:
The shared aim of these important new critical interventions into the early modern period is to make fresh feminist attempts to uncover the writings of Elizabethan and Jacobean women. Subject to silence, censorship and manipulation in the terms of overriding political concerns of the day, the feminist history of the early modern period is still a largely unwritten story. New feminist analysis can expose the conditions of production in which the history of the period was constructed: this revealing collection thereby exposes the untold stories which underpin the official texts. By beginning to explore this period from women's point of view, "Women, Texts and Histories" shows the crucial and fascinating ways in which women's writing may undermine many of the received assumptions on which the history of the period has depended. This book should be of interest to students and lecturers in English literature, history and women's studies.
