Pleasant Quippes for Upstart Newfangled Gentlewomen

By Stephen Gosson

"Pleasant Quippes For Upstart Newfangled Gentlewomen" offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of Renaissance England. This collection of satirical verses and observations, originally published in the late 16th century, critiques the perceived excesses and vanities of women during a period of significant social change. Through sharp wit and pointed commentary, the authors, including Stephen Gosson and Charles Bansley, explore themes of gender, class, and morality.

This edition, carefully curated by the Percy Society, makes these rare and important texts accessible to modern readers, providing valuable insights into the attitudes and expectations surrounding women in Elizabethan society. A valuable resource for students and scholars of Renaissance literature, women's studies, and social history, "Pleasant Quippes" remains a compelling and relevant commentary on the enduring complexities of gender and social norms.
