In early modern lyric poetry, the male poet or lover often appears
not as powerful and masterly but rather as broken, abject, and
feminine. Catherine Bates examines the cultural and literary
strategies behind this representation and uncovers radically
alternative models of masculinity in the lyric tradition of the
Renaissance. Focusing on Sidney, Ralegh, Shakespeare, and Donne,
she offers astute readings of a wide range of texts - a sonnet
sequence, a blazon, an elegy, a complaint, and an epistle. She
shows how existing critical approaches have too much invested in
the figure of the authoritative male writer to be able to do
justice to the truly radical nature of these alternative
masculinities. Taking direction from psychoanalytic theories of
gender formation, Bates develops critical strategies that make it
possible to understand and appreciate what is genuinely
revolutionary about these texts and about the English Renaissance
lyric tradition at large.
