Více o knize

Focusing on gender and sexuality in Renaissance England, this study explores how these themes influenced the relationships depicted in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century poetry. By analyzing both female- and male-authored lyrics, Pamela Hammons connects the poetic works to broader cultural contexts, including legal theories and various literary forms such as plays and epics. The examination of manuscript and print collections offers insights into the material culture of the time, highlighting the interplay between human and non-human subjects.
