- Summary:
- This anthology comprises a diverse range of historical treatises and tracts that discuss and debate gender and sexual relations in early modern England. Combining complete texts and extracts -- many hitherto unavailable in modern editions -- the collection focuses on prevailing conceptions of sexuality and gender in major areas and institutions of Tudor and Stuart society. A broad selection of religious sermons, moral handbooks, household manuals, midwifery and legal textbooks, ballads and chapbooks has been chosen.
- Each text is edited with modern spelling and punctuation, and accompanied by annotations to historical and textual allusions. The volume is introduced with an essay considering the significance of sexual gender relations for recent literary and historical research on 16th and 17th-century England. Each selection is also prefaced by an introductory discussion that relates the text to current critical perspectives and provides biographical details of the author.
