Carolyn A Nadeau

From Amazon.com: Women in the Discourse of Early Modern Spain addresses the important methodological and conceptual issues surrounding the lives, works, and representations of women in the literature of Early Modern Spain.

The essays move beyond the theme of women and literature in Early Modern Spain to reassess the economic, legal, political, and religious systems that articulate the parameters of women's access to power and self-determination in the past as well as in the present. Written by internationally …


Women Of The Prologue: Imitation, Myth, And Magic In Don Quixote, Carolyn Nadeau May 2002

Women Of The Prologue: Imitation, Myth, And Magic In Don Quixote, Carolyn Nadeau

Carolyn A Nadeau

From Google Books: Women of the Prologue: Imitation, Myth, and Magic in Don Quixote I examines the significance of the sources cited for female characterization in the prologue and their relationship to Cervantes's writing style. When the anonymous friend suggests that Cervantes include Guevara's Lamia, Laida, and Flora; Ovid's Medea; Homer's Calypso; and Virgil's Circe as models for specific types of women, he not only foregrounds the significance of these classical women for the female characters in the text, but also partakes in the controversial debate of the value of imitatio at the historic juncture of Humanist and Modernist perspectives …

Erotic "Women’S Songs" In Anglo-Saxon England, Clifford Davidson Dec 1974

Erotic "Women’S Songs" In Anglo-Saxon England, Clifford Davidson

Clifford Davidson

More than a decade ago, Kemp Malone asserted that The Wife's Lament and Wulf and Eadwacer are two surviving examples in Old English of Frauenlieder or, as I shall prefer to call them, "women's songs" Malone's argument, insofar as it applies to The Wife's Lament, has been forcefully challenged by Rudolph C. Bambas and Martin Stevens, both of whom question the assumption that the feminine forms in the poem point to a woman speaker. My paper will not once again sift the linguistic evidence to attempt to argue this matter one way or another, but rather, accepting Malone's belief …
