Opis

This collection brings together essays by well-known feminist scholars from the wide range of disciplines that make up Renaissance Studies. It forms an accessible introduction to the ways in which feminism has replaced the universal, abstract 'Renaissance Man' of traditional scholarship with strategies for the analysis of the conceptual work of gender in the formation of European modernity.

Recenzje

An extremely useful collection of previously published essays (and one new essay) is available in Feminism and Renaissance Studies.... This is a collection that will expose a newer generation of students to some of the central feminist essays of the last twenty-five years.
