Literary Circles and Gender in Early Modern Europe: A Cross-Cultural Approach

Women and Gender in the Early Modern World

by Julie Campbell

A comparative analysis, this study examines the interactions of early modern male and female writers within the context of literary circles. In particular, Campbell examines how the querelle des femmes as a discursive rhetorical tradition of praise and blame influenced perceptions of well-educated women who were part of literary circles in Italy, France, and England from approximately 1530 to 1650.
