Sinopsis

Contending that early modern fictional portrayals of sexual violence identify the position of the author with that of the chaste woman threatened with rape, Amy Greenstadt challenges the prevalent scholarly view that this period’s concept of ’The Author’ was inherently masculine. Instead, she argues, the analogy between rape and writing centrally informed ideas of literary intention and individual free will that emerged during the English Renaissance.
