Early Tudor Women Writers, Elaine Beilin
Early Tudor Women Writers, Elaine Beilin
Elaine V. Beilin
This volume includes leading scholarship on five writers active in the first half of the sixteenth century: Margaret More Roper, Katherine Parr, Anne Askew, Mildred Cooke Cecil and Anne Cooke Bacon. The essays represent a range of theoretical approaches and provide valuable insights into the religious, social, economic and political contexts essential for understanding these writers' texts. Scholars examine the significance of Margaret More Roper's translations and letters in the contexts of humanism, family relationships and changing cultural forces; the contributions of Katherine Parr and Anne Askew to Reformation discourses and debates; and the material presence of Mildred Cooke Cecil …

Women, Writing, And The Reproduction Of Culture In Tudor And Stuart Britain, Elaine Beilin
Women, Writing, And The Reproduction Of Culture In Tudor And Stuart Britain, Elaine Beilin
Elaine V. Beilin
In Tudor and Stuart Britain, women writers were shaped by their culture, but they also helped to shape and reproduce culture through their writing, their patronage and their network of family and friends. Although they submitted to the cultural constraints of femininity, women helped to fashion gender roles. Denied positions of power in government - with the exception of queens - women sought to influence their society's politics through their writings and personal relationships. Through the lens of cultural studies, the editors explore women's material culture, women as agents in reproducing culture, popular culture and women's pamphlets, and women's bodies …
Protestant Translators: Anne Lock Prowse And Elizabeth Russell, Elaine Beilin
Protestant Translators: Anne Lock Prowse And Elizabeth Russell, Elaine Beilin
Elaine V. Beilin
As writers strongly committed to the Reformation, Anne Lock Prowse and Elizabeth Russell translated works which they believed were doctrinally useful for their Protestant readers. Lock translated Calvin’s four sermons from French, dedicating the work to Katharine, Duchess of Suffolk. These were published with the appended sonnet sequence A meditation of a penitent sinner. This appears to be the first sonnet sequence written in English. The present edition is a facsimile of the Folger Shakespeare Library copy of 1560. Of the markes of the children of God, and of their comforts in afflictions was published in 1590. Lock’s translation of …
European Literary Careers: The Author From Antiquity To The Renaissance, Elaine Beilin
European Literary Careers: The Author From Antiquity To The Renaissance, Elaine Beilin
Elaine V. Beilin
Authorial studies, or 'career criticism' is a new and distinctive branch of interpretive methodology that explores various paths of European careers, particularly literary careers. In this first book-length study in the field various specialists from Italian, French, English, and Spanish studies collectively discuss literary careers spanning from classical antiquity through the Renaissance. They argue that the idea of a literary career evolves slowly, derives centrally from Virgil, and that the periodization from classical, medieval and Renaissance culture helps to elucidate the details of that evolution. Including authors from Theocritus to Spenser, the contributors correlate an author's sense of a career …

Elaine V. Beilin
This is the fourth in the series of proceedings of the interdisciplinary conference sponsored by the Center for Renaissance & Baroque Studies at the University of Maryland.

Nearly thirty workshops from the conference are summarized, and these offer a detailed …
Teaching Tudor And Stuart Women Writers, Elaine Beilin
Teaching Tudor And Stuart Women Writers, Elaine Beilin
Elaine V. Beilin
The increased attention to women's literature of the early modern period has reinvigorated literary study, not by supplanting the traditional canon but by renewing our interest in it. As the volume editors note, "Teaching Spenser's The Faerie Queene is a richer experience when one also teaches Wroth's Urania." Teaching Tudor and Stuart Women Writers summarizes the latest scholarship on British women writers who lived from roughly 1500 to 1700 and suggests strategies for presenting their works in the classroom. Thirty-six essays discuss frequently anthologized pieces by such women as Margaret Cavendish, Elizabeth I, Mary Sidney, and Mary Wroth as well …

The Examinations Of Anne Askew, Anne Askew, Elaine Beilin
The Examinations Of Anne Askew, Anne Askew, Elaine Beilin
Elaine V. Beilin
In this vivid first-person narrative, Anne Askew (1521-1546), a member of the Reformed church, records her imprisonment for heresy and her interrogation by officials of church and state in the last days of Henry VIII. She represents herself arguing forcefully, learnedly, and wittingly with her accusers, continually demonstrating their theological errors and her own refusal to be the traditional silent woman in public debate on religion. As a spiritual autobiography, a historical document, and a carefully crafted polemic, this work gives new insight into Reformation politics and society in England. After Askew was burned at the stake in 1546, her …

Silent But For The Word : Tudor Women As Patrons, Translators, And Writers Of Religious Works, Elaine Beilin
Silent But For The Word : Tudor Women As Patrons, Translators, And Writers Of Religious Works, Elaine Beilin
Elaine V. Beilin
Twelve of the fourteen essays in this volume describe much of the lives and works of an extraordinary group of English women who, despite the regime of chastity, silence and obedience imposed on them, managed to engage in particular with contemporary religious debates, through their work as writers, patrons, and especially translators. The translators discussed include Margaret More Roper, Queen Elizabeth I as a young girl, Mary Sidney, the Cooke sisters, and Lady Cary. Some essays focus on the style of individual translators, revealing "deviations" from source texts where the translator's voice, intentionally or unintentionally, shines through. Mary Ellen Lamb …
