Most anthologies of Renaissance writing comprise basically (or predominantly) male writers, while those who concentrate on girls contain ladies completely. This booklet is the 1st to survey either in an built-in model. Its texts include quite a lot of canonical and non-canonical writing -- together with a few new and critical discoveries. The texts are prepared in order that writing by way of men and women is gifted jointly, no longer in a "point-counterpoint" approach that may "square off" male and female writers opposed to each other, yet quite in pairs, occasionally clusters, of texts within which women's writing is foregrounded at the same time it seems that with writing through men.
The anthology arranges lately recovered texts into interesting styles, juxtaposing, for instance, Aemelia Lanyer's state condo poem with an expression of a unique form of nostalgia by means of Surrey. It contains unconventional voices, as within the homoerotic poems by means of Richard Barnfield or the potentially lesbian poems through Katherine Philips. It makes newly on hand the voices of English Marrano girls (secret Jews) and the Miltonic poetry of Jean Lead.

Example text
Perhaps sex does not lie in the body at all, but is the result of the inscription of arbitrary cultural meanings on the body. Sex, as a category—like the categories of male, female, man, woman, masculinity, and femininity—is imbued with power, and inscription is the process by which such categories achieve their solidity, where unstable meanings are “written” on the body. These categories then become naturalized through endless repetition, or “sedimentation,” of discursively constituted actions.
In no way does Riley intend her analysis to “vault over the stubborn harshness of lived gender” (3); nor does she necessarily mean it to celebrate “the carnival of diffuse and contingent sexualities” (5). Such directions are an anathema to many feminists, either because of the suggestion that we can easily have limitless freedom in our sexual and gender identities—something that is clearly untrue—or because of the suggestion that we should have unlimited freedom of the kind that would sanction, say, sex abuse of children.
Nor is it derived from the post-Lacanian, poststructuralist accounts and critiques of binary phallocentrism, which tend to embody the view that the gender order can be understood by examining such linguistic constructions and textuality alone. Language is important in the discursive construction of the gender order, but as I argued earlier, so are the other two dimensions of analysis (embodiment and institutional processes). Although I do not deny that language plays a constitutive role in general, the part that the particular linguistic constructions identified in Lacanian and poststructuralist thought play in constituting gendered social life is highly variable.
