Gender, Sexuality, and Material Objects in English Renaissance Verse

By Pamela S. Hammons

An important contribution to recent critical discussions about gender, sexuality, and material culture in Renaissance England, this study analyzes female- and male-authored lyrics to illuminate how gender and sexuality inflected sixteenth- and seventeenth-century poets' conceptualization of relations among people and things, human and non-human subjects and objects. Pamela Hammons examines lyrics from both manuscript and print collections and situates them in relation to legal theories, autobiographies, biographies, plays, and epics.
