"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).
