Before Pornography: Erotic Writing in Early Modern England

Abstract

already made it into a new canon of women writers.It opens further possibilities for studying early modern women writers by modelling a profitable alliance with cultural studies.Still, the volume has by no means exhausted the avenues by which we ought to approach the study of "Women, Writing, and the Reproduction of Culture."Are there cases, we also may ask, of women's writing which is not resistant in our terms, but which nonetheless acted centrally to reproduce early modern culture(s)?Tudor and Stuart Britain clearly did not see the liberation of women.To what extent did women, and women's texts, reproduce the culture which kept this from happening?
