"Gender, Culture and Politics in England, 1560-1640 integrates social history, politics and literary culture as part of a groundbreaking study that provides revealing insights into the lives of men and women in early modern England. Susan D. Amussen and David E. Underdown examine familiar chaotic characters from the period, such as scolds, cuckolds, witches and scandalous women, and consider the significance of the disorder they create and how they turn the ordered world around them upside down in a very specific, gendered way. Using case studies from theatre, civic ritual and witchcraft, the book demonstrates how the idea of an upside down world, centered on gender inversion, repeatedly permeates the mental world of early modern England. Amussen and Underdown show both how gender was central to understanding society, and the ways in which both unruly women and failed patriarchs were disciplined. In doing so, they give a glimpse of how we can connect different dimensions of early modern society. This is a vital study for anyone keen to know more about the importance of gender in society, culture and politics in 16th- and 17th-century England"--Provided by publisher.

"Il presente studio propone un viaggio attraverso i cantici femminili della Bibbia, ossia l'insieme di quei particolari testi biblici chiamati «salmi inseriti» (inset psalms) e attribuiti alle donne: il cantico di Miriam (Es 15,20-21), il cantico di Debora (Gdc 5,1-31), il cantico di Anna (1Sam 2,1-10), il cantico di Giuditta (Gdt 16,1-17) e il Magnificat di Maria (Lc 1,46-55). Tutti questi componimenti, condividendo le stesse caratteristiche letterarie e tematiche, possono essere identificati come 'inni di vittoria.' Inoltre, in quanto tali, essi vengono esaminati con una particolare chiave di lettura: attraverso la disamina dell'uso ricorrente del topos letterario del 'mondo alla rovescia' (mundus inversus). Questo concetto -- una facoltà universale del pensiero umano -- rappresenta un capovolgimento dello status quo del mondo ordinario e offre alternative ai codici tradizionali relativi ad alcune dimensioni essenziali della vita umana: naturale, culturale e religiosa. La ricerca qui offerta dimostra che i grandi interventi di Dio nella storia, celebrati nei cantici in questione, comprendono numerose immagini del world upside down e, in tal modo, rivelano un continuo stile di agire del Dio biblico, che si potrebbe perfino definire 'stile alla rovescia.'"--

When first published in 1977, 'A Literature of Their Own' quickly set the stage for the creative explosion of feminist literary studies that transformed the field in the 1980s. Launching a major new area for literary investigation, the book uncovered the long but neglected tradition of women writers in England. A classic of feminist criticism, its impact continues to be felt today.This revised and expanded edition contains a new introductory chapter surveying the book's reception and a new postscript chapter celebrating the legacy of feminism and feminist criticism in the efflorescence of contemporary British fiction by women.
