Its originality is twofold: it links women's writing in English with the wider context of Baroque culture, and it introduces the issue of gender into discussion of the Baroque. The title comes from Julia Kristeva's study of Teresa of Avila, that 'the secrets of Baroque civilization are female'. The book is built on a schema of recurring Baroque characteristics - narrativity, hyperbole, melancholia, kitsch, and plateauing, pointing less to surface manifestations and more to underlying ideological tensions. The crucial concept of the Female Baroque is developed in detail. Attention is then given particularly to Gertrude More, Mary Ward, Aemilia Lanyer, The Ferrar/Collet women, Mary Wroth, the Cavendish sisters, Hester Pulter, Anne Hutchinson, Margaret Cavendish and Aphra Behn, the latter two whose lives and writings point to the developing cultural transition to the Enlightenment. 410 0$aGendering the late medieval and early modern world ;$v9. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen in literature 606 $aBaroque literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 610 $aBaroque. 610 $aFemale Baroque. 610 $aJulia Kristeva. 610 $aWomen's writing. 610 $aearly modern England. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 615 0$aBaroque literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 676 $a820.9352042 700 $aWaller$b Gary F$g(Gary Fredric),$f1945-$0152366 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821774003321 996 $aThe female baroque in early modern English literary culture$93986783 997 $aUNINA
