About this title

Synopsis

Uses readings of Elizabethan texts by such authors as Chapman, Shakespeare, and Spenser to explore the impact of the Elizabeth I's marital status on the portrayal of women in culture and literature.

Review

`Philippa Berry possesses both a detailed knowledge of Elizabethan texts and a sophisticated grasp of feminist critical theory. In this incisive account she offers a new perspective on the materiality of sexual politics in the Renaissance.' - Catherine Belsey

` ... this is a brilliant little book.' - English Historical Review

`Her reinterpretation of Elizabethan politics and culture is intelligent, scholarly, and often compelling and will be of interest to historians and cultural critics alike' - Journal of the History of Sexuality
