Liberty and the Politics of the Female Voice in Early Stuart England

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2024

This study argues that the female voice occupied a key role in the early Stuart political imaginary as a means of signalling resistance to tyranny. Like their male contemporaries, including Shakespeare, early modern women writers deployed female voices to craft powerful new discourses of religious and political liberty.

Recenzii

'This is a fascinating piece of scholarship, which like all good books, points to something obvious that we have overlooked. In the extensive work done on voice, little attention has been paid to why male authors (and by extension readers too) in the period were so invested in the female voice. Rather than essentializing the female voice, this book will enable us to read female voices in more fully historicised and politicised terms. Christina Luckyj's deft and detailed analysis brings something genuinely new to our understanding of the key texts, positioning these writers within a culture of (mostly) Biblical reading and interpretation that focusses on politics in the widest sense. It will be a field-defining book.' Danielle Clarke, University College Dublin
