Feminist Readings of Early Modern Culture: Emerging Subjects by Valerie Traub (E

Description: Feminist Readings of Early Modern Culture: Emerging Subjects by Valerie Traub 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 analyzing a wide spectrum of cultural concerns—humanism, technology, science, law, anatomy, literacy, domesticity, colonialism, erotic practices, and the theater—in order to delineate the history of subjectivity and its relationship with the postmodern fragmented subject. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description How did the new developments of the Renaissance affect the way women were understood by men and the way they understood themselves? Addressing a wide range of issues across Renaissance culture—humanism, technology, science, anatomy, literacy, theater, domesticity, colonialism, and sex—this collection of essays attempts to answer that question. In doing so, the authors discover that the female subject of the Renaissance shares a surprising amount of conceptual territory with her postmodern counterpart. Table of Contents 1.
