Authors of the period reflect the anxieties about masculinity that became more pronounced against the backdrop of major events and innovations of the period: the religious conflict in France, the repeated questioning of religious and royal authority, the revival of Greek skepticism, the discovery of the New World, and the rise of clinical medicine. These events in turn fueled growing doubt concerning the fixed and hierarchical nature of gender distinction, a distinction upon which many felt French culture was dependent for its very survival.Sixteenth century essays & studies ;Volume 59.Electronic books. 840.9353Kathleen Perry Long1070785Long Kathleen P1070786MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910157817003321High Anxiety2565055UNINA
