Description

Explore a new perspective on early modern history with this scholarly volume from Routledge. This book examines how women represented their reproductive knowledge through various mediums, including plays, medical treatises, and court records. While many traditional interpretations view female reproductive bodies as passive or silenced under male control, this research offers a different view. Lutfring argues that these historical texts actually show women exercising control over reproduction. By telling specific stories about their bodies and performing those stories through speech and physical action, women established their own epistemological authority. This work provides a deep look at the connection between speech and physical performance in Renaissance culture. This publication is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in Renaissance literature, gender studies, and the history of medicine. It uses a wide range of primary sources, such as monstrous birth pamphlets and histories, to reconstruct the agency of women in early modern England.
