Until the early 1980s it was generally assumed that women did not write any books during the Renaissance. Virginia Woolf wondered why, 'no woman wrote a word of that extraordinary literature when every other man, it seemed, was capable of song or sonnet'.\u003cbr\u003e The women discussed in this book \u003cem\u003edid\u003c\/em\u003e write something of that 'extraordinary literature'. Ignoring Renaissance society's injunction that women should confine themselves to religious compositions, they wrote and translated poetry, drama and romantic fiction. They even voiced opposition to certain oppressive ideas and stereotypes. Yet, as this study suggests, what these authors finally say depends greatly on the fact that they were women writing in a culture inimical to female creative activity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tina Kronitiris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415162637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415162630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.45h x 5.42w x 0.47d","brand":"Tina Kronitiris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056066851071,"sku":"9780415162630","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e592b929-e67f-4e24-8223-010d0b2a1179.jpg?v=1685039326","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/oppositional-voices-tina-kronitiris-9780415162630","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
