Uncommon Women : Gender And Representation In Nineteenth- Century U.S. Women’s Writing
Engendering The Fall : John Milton And Seventeenth- Century Women Writers
Attribution
Shannon MillerPublication Details
BookUniversity of Pennsylvania Press2008Description
The narrative of the Garden of Eden infused seventeenth-century political thought no less than it reflected attitudes toward the relationship between the sexes. She sets a series of writings by women into conversation with the period’s most important poetic rendering of the Fall, Milton’s Paradise Lost, to illustrate how significant gender was to accounts of social and political organization, and to demonstrate how the Garden narrative plots the role of gender.

The Captive’s Position : Female Narrative, Male Identity, And Royal Authority In Colonial New England
Attribution
Teresa A. ToulousePublication Details
BookUniversity of Pennsylvania Press2007Links
Description
Why do narratives of Indian captivity emerge in New England between 1682 and 1707 and why are these texts, so centrally concerned with women’s experience, supported and even written by a powerful group of Puritan ministers? In The Captive’s Position, Teresa Toulouse argues for a new interpretation of the captivity narrative–one that takes into account the profound shifts in political and social authority and legitimacy that occurred in New England at the end of the seventeenth century.

Borderlines : The Shiftings Of Gender In British Romanticism
Attribution
Susan J. WolfsonPublication Details
BookStanford University Press2006Links

Opening with the revolution-era debates of the 1790s, Borderlines reads Romantic genders across a mobile syntax, tuned to such figures as the stylized “feminine” poetess, the aberrant “masculine” woman, male poets deemed “feminine” or “unmanly,” the campy male “effeminate,” and hapless or strategic cross-dressers of both sexes.

Shakespeare And Women
Attribution
Phyllis RackinPublication Details
BookOxford University Press2005Links
Description
Shakespeare and Women situates Shakespeare’s female characters in multiple historical contexts, ranging from the early modern England in which they originated to the contemporary Western world in which our own encounters with them are staged. The final chapter, “Shakespeare’s Timeless Women,” surveys the implication of Shakespeare’s female characters in the process of historical change, as they have been repeatedly updated to conform to changing conceptions of women’s nature and women’s social roles, serving in ever-changing guises as models of an unchanging, universal female nature.
