In seven essays moving from the 16th to the mid-18th century, and from Italy and Spain to France and Sweden, this volume explores strategies used by early modern women poets, philosophers, and artists in order to create subversive expressions of the body, gender and the senses. Showing how body and soul, the carnal and the divine, the senses and the mind, could be represented as intertwined and dependent on each other in various ways, it gives due attention to European women writers and artists that in unconventional ways responded to the period's two main intellectual and philosophical attitudes - Epicurean and Stoic - towards the body and its senses. These attitudes not only intersect in the period's discussions of virtue and other moral phenomena, but are central to critical assessment of the relations between emotions, perception, and reason. By following this topic from a gender perspective, the book highlights other forms of subjectivity than the ones usually related to the early modern period's dominating subjectivation of female bodies, thinking and desires. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Subjects & Themes / Women $2bisacsh 610 $aWomen writers. 610 $aepicureanism. 610 $astoicism. 610 $asubjectivity. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Subjects & Themes / Women . 676 $a809.9335610903 702 $aAmundsen Bergström$b Matilda, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aCappuccilli$b Eleonora, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aDurin$b Karine, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aFranzén$b Carin, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aFranzén$b Carin, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGerdes$b Nan, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aVernqvist$b Johanna, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aVernqvist$b Johanna, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWarkander$b Sofia, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 712 02$aRiksbankens Jubileumsfond$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 912 $a996582068003316 996 $aBody, Gender, Senses$94128281 997 $aUNISA
