A fascinating study of the writing of six women writers of the period. Encompassing their poetry, drama and romantic fiction, the study shows how gender ideology, economics and class, as well as literary convention, shaped their work.
Oppositional Voices is a study of six women writers in the late Elizabethan period, who, ignoring Renaissance society''s injunction that women should confine themselves to religious compositions, wrote and translated poetry, drama and romantic fiction. Tina Krontiris brings together their work, including at times their voiced opposition to certain oppressive ideas and stereotypes. Rather than simply glorify these voices, her study subtly probes the influence of a culture inimical to female creative activity on the writings of these women.
