Ventriloquized Voices - Feminist Theory and English Renaissance Texts (Paperback, 1st Paperback Ed)

"Ventriloquized Voices" is a fascinating examination of the appropriation of the feminine voice by male authors. In a historical and theoretical study of English texts of the early modern period, Elizabeth D. Harvey looks at the transvestism at work in texts which purport to be by women but which are in fact written by men. The crossing of gender in these ventriloquized works illuminates the discourses of patronage, medicine, madness and eroticism in English Renaissance society, revealing as it does the construction of sexuality, gender identity, and power. Harvey has also published: "Soliciting Interpretations: Literary Theory and Seventeenth-Century English Poetry", edited with K. Eisamen Maus (University of Chicago Press, 1990); and "Women and Reason", edited with K. Okruhlik (University of Michigan Press, 1992).
