Description

Explore the complex connections between literary creation and gender in early modern England with Rape and the Rise of the Author. In this scholarly work, Amy Greenstadt examines how fictional portrayals of sexual violence shaped the concept of the author. By looking at the relationship between rape and writing, the text offers a new perspective on how literary intention was understood during the English Renaissance. This book challenges the traditional academic view that the concept of the author was strictly masculine. Instead, Greenstadt demonstrates how the analogy between the act of writing and the experience of the threatened woman informed the development of the modern individual. Through a detailed study of influential figures such as Milton, Sidney, Shakespeare, and Cavendish, readers gain insight into the historical roots of authorship and gendered identity in literature.
