Description

This Routledge publication offers a fresh academic approach to the study of oral traditions within early modern literary texts. The volume explores the deep cultural meanings and gendered implications associated with oral traditions through three distinct thematic sections. Part One examines the role of the 'old nurse' as a storyteller in early modern fiction. Part Two focuses on how women used oral traditions to serve their own purposes. The final section challenges the idea that oral traditions are exclusively feminine by investigating their implications for masculinity as well. This collection provides a detailed look at how gender shapes the material and cultural landscape of early modern storytelling.
