"Who can those vast imaginations feed?": The concealed fancies and the price of hunger ; Caught in the act at Nun Appleton. 330 $aAlthough theories of exploitation and subversion have radically changed our understanding of gender in Renaissance literature, to favour only those theories is to risk ignoring productive exchanges between 'masculine' and 'feminine' in Renaissance culture. 'Appropriation' is too simple a term to describe these exchanges - as when Petrarchan lovers flirt dangerously with potentially destructive femininity. Spenser revises this Petrarchan phenomenon, constructing flirtations whose participants are figures of speech, readers or narrative voices. His plots allow such exchanges to occur only through conditional speech, but this very conditionality powerfully shapes his work. Seventeenth-century works - including a comedy by Jane Cavendish and Elizabeth Brackley, and Upon Appleton House by Andrew Marvell - suggest that the civil war and the upsurge of female writers necessitated a reformulation of conditional erotics. 410 0$aCambridge studies in Renaissance literature and culture ;$v29. 606 $aEnglish poetry$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNarrative poetry, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aErotic poetry, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFeminism and literature$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aEnglish poetry$xItalian influences 606 $aRenaissance$zEngland 606 $aSex in literature 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNarrative poetry, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aErotic poetry, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFeminism and literature$xHistory. 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xItalian influences. 615 0$aRenaissance 615 0$aSex in literature. 676 $a821/.03093538 700 $aStephens$b Dorothy$01576674 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778871503321 996 $aThe limits of eroticism in post-Petrarchan narrative$93854581 997 $aUNINA
