Krátky popis
This remarkable work about women writers in the English Renaissance
explodes our notion of the Shakespearean period by drawing us into
the lives of four women who were committed to their craft long
before there was any possibility of 'a room of one's own.'In an
innovative and engaging narrative of everyday life in Shakespeare's
England, Ramie Targoff carries us from the sumptuous coronation of
Queen Elizabeth in the mid-16th century into the private lives of
four women writers working at a time when women were legally the
property of men. Some readers may have heard of Mary Sidney,
accomplished poet and sister of the famous Sir Philip Sidney, but
few will have heard of Aemilia Lanyer, the first woman in the 17th
century to publish a book of original poetry, which offered a
feminist take on the crucifixion, or Elizabeth Cary, who published
the first original play by a woman, about the plight of the Jewish
princess Mariam. Then there was Anne Clifford, a lifelong diarist,
who fought for decades against a patriarchy that tried to rob her
of her land in one of England's most infamous inheritance
battles.These women had husbands and children to care for and
little support for their art, yet against all odds they defined
themselves as writers, finding rooms of their own where doors had
been shut for centuries. Targoff flings them open to uncover the
treasures left by these extraordinary women, in the process, she
helps us see the Renaissance in a fresh light, creating a richer
understanding of history and offering a much-needed female
perspective on life in Shakespeare's day.
