"Who can those vast imaginations feed?": The concealed fancies and the price of hunger ; Caught in the act at Nun Appleton.Although theories of exploitation and subversion have radically changed our understanding of gender in Renaissance literature, to favour only those theories is to risk ignoring productive exchanges between 'masculine' and 'feminine' in Renaissance culture. 'Appropriation' is too simple a term to describe these exchanges - as when Petrarchan lovers flirt dangerously with potentially destructive femininity. Spenser revises this Petrarchan phenomenon, constructing flirtations whose participants are figures of speech, readers or narrative voices. His plots allow such exchanges to occur only through conditional speech, but this very conditionality powerfully shapes his work. Seventeenth-century works - including a comedy by Jane Cavendish and Elizabeth Brackley, and Upon Appleton House by Andrew Marvell - suggest that the civil war and the upsurge of female writers necessitated a reformulation of conditional erotics.Cambridge studies in Renaissance literature and culture ;29.Post-Petrarchan narrativeEnglish poetryEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismNarrative poetry, EnglishHistory and criticismErotic poetry, EnglishHistory and criticismFeminism and literatureEnglandHistoryEnglish poetryItalian influencesRenaissanceEnglandSex in literatureEnglish poetryHistory and criticism.Narrative poetry, EnglishHistory and criticism.Erotic poetry, EnglishHistory and criticism.Feminism and literatureHistory.English poetryItalian influences.RenaissanceSex in literature.821/.03093538Stephens Dorothy1698580MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819501003321The limits of eroticism in post-Petrarchan narrative4080161UNINA
