Feminist Readings of Early Modern Culture: Emerging SubjectsFrederick G L Huetwell Professor of English and Women's Studies Valerie Traub, Valerie Traub, Callaghan Dympna, M. Lindsay Kaplan, Dympna Callaghan Cambridge University Press, 10 oct. 1996 - 301 pages How did the events of the early modern period affect the way gender and the self were represented? This collection of essays attempts to respond to this question by analysing a wide spectrum of cultural concerns - humanism, technology, science, law, anatomy, literacy, domesticity, colonialism, erotic practices, and the theatre - in order to delineate the history of subjectivity and its relationship with the postmodern fragmented subject. The scope of this analysis expands the terrain explored by feminist theory, while its feminist focus reveals that the subject is always gendered - although the terms in which gender is conceived and represented change across history. Feminist Readings of Early Modern Culture not only explores the representation of gendered subjects, but in its commitment to balancing the productive tensions of methodological diversity, also speaks to contemporary challenges facing feminism. |
