By defining a tight thematic focus and yet offering a broad disciplinary scope for inquiry, the present volume brings together a wide range of scholarly papers investigating a cohesive topic—gendered violence—from the perspectives of French, German, Italian, Spanish, English, and Japanese literature, history, musicology, art history, and cultural studies. It interrogates the intersection of gender and violence in the early modern period, cutting across national traditions, genres, media, and disciplines. By engaging several levels of discourse, the volume advances a holistic approach to understanding gendered violence in the early modern world. The convergence of discourses concerning literature, the arts, emerging print technologies, social and legal norms, and textual and visual practices leverages a more complex understanding of gender in this period. Through the unifying lens of gender and violence the contributions to this volume comprehensively address a wide scope of diverse issues, approaches, and geographies from late medieval Japan to the European Enlightenment. While the majority of essays focus on early modern Europe, they are broadly contextualized and informed by integrated critical approaches pertaining to issues of violence and gender.Internationale Forschungen zur allgemeinen und vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft ;169.Violence in literatureSex role in literatureViolence in the theaterSex role in the theaterGendered violenceViolence in literature.Sex role in literature.Violence in the theater.Sex role in the theater.809.933552Wade Mara R1631060Mitelli Maria1631061Aikin Judith P1631062MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816699603321Gender matters3969669UNINA
