A Waste of Shame: The Heroics of Marriage in English Renaissance Tragedy --4. Transforming Sexuality : Jacobean Tragicomedy and the Reconfiguration of Private Life --IndexA public and highly popular literary form, English Renaissance drama affords a uniquely valuable index of the process of cultural transformation. The Expense of Spirit integrates feminist and historicist critical approaches to explore the dynamics of cultural conflict and change during a crucial period in the formation of modern sexual values. Comparing Elizabethan and Jacobean dramatic representations of love and sexuality with those in contemporary moral tracts and religious writings on women, love, and marriage, Mary Beth Rose argues that such literature not only interpreted sexual sensibilities but also contributed to creating and transforming them.English dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600History and criticismLove in literatureEnglish drama17th centuryHistory and criticismWomen and literatureEnglandHistory17th centuryWomen and literatureEnglandHistory16th centuryLiterary formHistory17th centuryLiterary formHistory16th centuryWomenEnglandHistoryRenaissanceEnglandSex in literatureEnglish dramaHistory and criticism.Love in literature.English dramaHistory and criticism.Women and literatureHistoryWomen and literatureHistoryLiterary formHistoryLiterary formHistoryWomenHistory.RenaissanceSex in literature.822/.3/09354Rose Mary Beth692717DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910272352603321The Expense of Spirit2617945UNINA
