This book explores the construction of gender ideology in early
modern England through an analysis of the querelle des femmes - the
debate about the relationship between the sexes that originated on
the continent during the middle ages and the Renaissance and
developed in England into the Swetnam controversy, which revolved
around the publication of Joseph Swetnam's The arraignment of lewd,
forward, and inconstant women and the pamphlets which responded to
its misogynist attacks. The volume contextualizes the debate in
terms of its continental antecedents and elite manuscript
circulation in England, then moves to consider popular culture and
printed texts from the Jacobean debate and its effects on women's
writing and the developing discourse on gender, and concludes with
an examination of the ramifications of the debate during the Civil
War and Restoration. Essays focus attention on the implications of
the gender debate for women writers and their literary relations,
cultural ideology and the family, and political discourse and ideas
of nationhood.
