In this book Floyd Gray explores how the treatment of controversial
subjects in French Renaissance writing was affected both by
rhetorical conventions and by the commercial requirements of an
expanding publishing industry. Focusing on a wide range of
discourses on gender issues - misogynist, feminist,
autobiographical, homosexual and medical - Gray reveals the extent
to which these marginalized texts reflect literary concerns rather
than social reality. He then moves from a close analysis of the
rhetorical factor in the Querelle des femmes to consider ways in
which writing, as a textual phenomenon, inscribes its own,
sometimes ambiguous, meaning. Gray offers richly detailed readings
of writing by Rabelais, Jean Flore, Montaigne, Louise Labe,
Pernette du Guillet and Marie de Gournay among others, challenging
the inherent anachronism of those forms of criticism that fail to
take account of the rhetorical and cultural conditions of the
period.
