Description

Explore new perspectives on early modern literature with this scholarly volume from Routledge. This collection offers a fresh approach to how oral traditions function within literary texts, specifically looking at the cultural and gendered meanings behind them. Divided into three distinct sections, the book examines the role of the 'old nurse' as a storyteller in early modern fiction. It also investigates how women used oral traditions to serve their own purposes and explores how these traditions impact masculinity, challenging the idea that oral culture is exclusively feminine. This book is an essential resource for researchers and students studying literary theory, history, and gender studies.
