Description

This scholarly volume reexamines early modern representations of women's reproductive knowledge through fresh analysis of plays, monstrous birth pamphlets, medical treatises, court records, and historical documents. Rather than interpreting these texts as portraying female reproductive bodies as passive objects of male control, the author demonstrates how women exercised epistemological authority over reproduction by narrating their bodily experiences and performing these narratives. The work combines speech and physical performance to reveal how women asserted agency and knowledge claims in early modern England, challenging conventional readings of Renaissance literature and culture. Essential reading for scholars of early modern studies, feminist literary criticism, and the history of medicine and knowledge production.

Key Features

Draws on diverse primary sources including plays, monstrous birth pamphlets, medical treatises, and court records.

Argues that female reproductive bodies were sites of epistemological control rather than passive objects in early modern discourse.

Part of Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture series for advanced scholarly study.

Combines literary analysis with historical evidence to reveal women's agency in early modern reproductive knowledge debates.
