Focusing on a wide range of discourses on gender issues - misogynist, feminist, autobiographical, homosexual and medical - Gray reveals the extent to which these marginalized texts reflect literary concerns rather than social reality. He then moves from a close analysis of the rhetorical factor in the Querelle des femmes to consider ways in which writing, as a textual phenomenon, inscribes its own, sometimes ambiguous, meaning. Gray offers richly detailed readings of writing by Rabelais, Jean Flore, Montaigne, Louise Labé, Pernette du Guillet and Marie de Gournay among others, challenging the inherent anachronism of those forms of criticism that fail to take account of the rhetorical and cultural conditions of the period.Cambridge studies in French ;63.Gender, Rhetoric, & Print Culture in French Renaissance WritingFrench literature16th centuryHistory and criticismFrench literature17th centuryHistory and criticismSex in literatureGender identity in literatureFrench literatureHistory and criticism.French literatureHistory and criticism.Sex in literature.Gender identity in literature.840.9/003Gray Floyd1926-221130UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910808765903321Gender, rhetoric, and print culture in French Renaissance writing4123421UNINA
