Book Synopsis Erotic Politics by : Susan Zimmerman
Download or read book Erotic Politics written by Susan Zimmerman. This book was released on 2005-08-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identifying the stage as a primary site for erotic display, these essays take eroticism in Renaissance culture as a paradigm for issues of sexuality and identity in early modern culture. Contributors examine how the Renaissance stage functioned as a decoder for erotic experience, both reinforcing and subverting expected sexual behaviour. They argue that the dynamics of theatrical eroticism served to deconstruct gender definitions, leaving conventional categories of sexuality blurred, confused - or absent. In seeking to reposition the conventions and subversions of gender and desire in terms of one another, these essays open up an attractive and distinctive perspective in cultural debate.

Book Synopsis Gender, Race, Renaissance Drama by : Ania Loomba
Download or read book Gender, Race, Renaissance Drama written by Ania Loomba. This book was released on 1992. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violent and recurrent confrontations between disorderly women and patriarchal power are a major feature of the tragedies of Shakespeare, Webster, and Middleton. In this study, Loomba interrelates racial and sexual differences to explore the construction of Renaissance authority and the politics of English studies, particularly Renaissance drama, in postcolonial education. These recurrent confrontations between women and the patriarchal status-quo are discussed in light of the historical and theoretical interweaving of race and gender. The book will be of interest to those studying the history of women and education as well as those interested in Renaissance drama.

Book Synopsis The Expense of Spirit by : Mary Beth Rose
Download or read book The Expense of Spirit written by Mary Beth Rose. This book was released on 2018-03-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A public and highly popular literary form, English Renaissance drama affords a uniquely valuable index of the process of cultural transformation. The Expense of Spirit integrates feminist and historicist critical approaches to explore the dynamics of cultural conflict and change during a crucial period in the formation of modern sexual values. Comparing Elizabethan and Jacobean dramatic representations of love and sexuality with those in contemporary moral tracts and religious writings on women, love, and marriage, Mary Beth Rose argues that such literature not only interpreted sexual sensibilities but also contributed to creating and transforming them.
