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 Labe?, 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. 410 0$aCambridge studies in French ;$v63. 517 3 $aGender, Rhetoric, & Print Culture in French Renaissance Writing 606 $aFrench literature$y16th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFrench literature$y17th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSex in literature 606 $aGender identity in literature 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSex in literature. 615 0$aGender identity in literature. 676 $a840.9/003 700 $aGray$b Floyd$f1926-$0221130 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455646303321 996 $aGender, rhetoric, and print culture in French Renaissance writing$92465891 997 $aUNINA
