In early modern England, boys and girls learned to be masculine or
feminine as they learned to read and write. This 1999 book explores
how gender differences, instilled through specific methods of
instruction in literacy, were scrutinised in the English public
theatre. Close readings of plays from Shakespeare's Love's Labour's
Lost to Thomas Dekker's Whore of Babylon, and of poems, didactic
treatises and autobiographical writings from the same period, offer
a richly textured analysis of the interaction between didactic
precepts, literary models, and historical men and women. At the
cross-roads between literary studies and social and cultural
history, Eve Sanders' research offers insights into poems, plays,
and first-person narratives (including works by women writers, such
as Mary Sidney and Anne Clifford) and into the social conflicts
that shaped individuals as the writers and readers of such texts.
