Girl characters appeared in a variety of texts, from female infants in Shakespeare's late romances to little children in Tudor interludes to adult 'roaring girls' in city comedies. Drawing from a variety of print and manuscript sources, including early modern drama, dictionaries, midwifery manuals, and women's autobiographies, this book argues that girlhood in Shakespeare's England was both a time of life and a form of gender transgression. 410 0$aEdinburgh critical studies in Renaissance culture. 606 $aGirls in literature 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGirls$zGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y16th century 606 $aGirls$zGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y17th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xCivilization$y16th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xCivilization$y17th century 610 $aLiterature 610 $agirls 610 $agirlhood 610 $aRenaissance 610 $aEarly Modern England 610 $asexuality 610 $aShakespeare 610 $aFemininity 610 $achildhood 610 $awomen writers 610 $aLondon 610 $aWilliam Shakespeare 615 0$aGirls in literature. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGirls$xSocial conditions 615 0$aGirls$xSocial conditions 676 $a820.935234209031 686 $aHI 3385$2rvk 700 $aHigginbotham$b Jennifer$0972585 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996552349503316 996 $aThe girlhood of Shakespeare's sisters$92212168 997 $aUNISA
