By examining representations of women on stage and in the many
printed materials aimed at them, Karen Newman shows how female
subjectivity--both the construction of the gendered subject and the
ideology of women's subjection to men--was fashioned in Elizabethan
and Jacobean England. Her emphasis is not on "women" so much as on
the category of "femininity" as deployed in the late sixteenth and
early seventeenth centuries.
Through the critical lens of poststructuralism, Newman reads
anatomies, conduct and domesticity handbooks, sermons, homilies,
ballads, and court cases to delineate the ideologies of femininity
they represented and produced. Arguing that drama, as spectacle,
provides a peculiarly useful locus for analyzing the management of
femininity, Newman considers the culture of early modern London to
reveal how female subjectivity was fashioned and staged in the
plays of Shakespeare, Jonson, and others.
