About this title

Synopsis

Half Humankind is the first study to provide modernized and annotated editions of the key documents from the controversy about women in Renaissance England. The selections -- ten treatises debating the merits of womankind and six eulogies and condemnations depicting actual women -- range in style from careful logic and studied eloquence to ribald humor and witty parody. Illuminated by an extensive discussion tying the selections to Renaissance society and traditional literature, this volume is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of literature, history, and women's studies.

About the Author

Katherine Usher Henderson and Barbara F. McManus are faculty members at the College of New Rochelle in New York, where Henderson is professor of English and McManus is associate professor of classics and English.
