内容説明

Feminist Formalism and Early Modern Women's Writing reexamines the relationship between gender and form in early modern women's writing in essays that elaborate the specific literary strategies of women writers, that examine women's debts to and appropriations of different literary genres, and that offer practical suggestions for the teaching of women's texts in several different contexts. Contributors explore the possibility of feminist formalism, a methodology that both attends to the structural, rhetorical, and other formal techniques of a given text and takes gender as a central category of analysis. This collection contends that feminist formalism is a useful tool for scholars of the early modern period and for literary studies more broadly because it marries the traditional questions of formalism-including questions of style, genre, and literary history-with the political and cultural concerns of feminist inquiry. Contributors reposition works by important women writers-such as Margaret Cavendish, Hester Pulter, Mary Wroth, and Katherine Philips-as central to the development of English literary tradition. By examining a variety of texts written by women, including recipes, emblems, exchanges, and poetry, Feminist Formalism and Early Modern Women's Writing contributes to existing scholarship on early modern women's writing while extending it in new and important directions.
