Oppositional Voices
Author: Tina Kronitiris
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134678096
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
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.
