- Description
- In thirteen essays, this publication investigates questions about early modern British women’s figurative, material, and cultural relationships with books. The volume’s three-part structure highlights case studies of individual readers and their libraries: analyses of readers and readership in the context of their interpretive communities: and new types of scholarly evidence - lists of confiscated books and convent rules, for example - as well as new methodologies and technologies for ongoing research.

- Description
- The essays in this volume investigate the lives of six Habsburg women who, as queens-consort, queens-regent, a vicereine, and a nun, left an indelible mark on the diplomatic and cultural map of early modern Europe. Contributors examine the national and transnational impact of these notable women through their biographies, and explore how they transferred their cultural, religious, and political traditions as the women moved from one court to another. Early Modern Habsburg Women investigates the complex lives of Philip II's daughter, the Infanta Catalina Micaela (1567-1597): her daughter, Margherita of Savoy, Vicereine of Portugal (1589-1655): and Maria Maddalena of Austria, Grand Duchess of Florence (1589-1631). The second generation of Habsburg women that the volume addresses includes Philip IV's first wife, Isabel of Borbon (1602-1644), who became a Habsburg by marriage: Rudolph II's daughter, Sor Ana Dorotea (1611-1694), the only Habsburg nun in the collection: and Philip IV's second wife, Mariana of Austria (1634-1696), queen-regent and mother to the last Spanish Habsburg.

- Description
- This collection of essays provides a study of how Caterina Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus (1454-1510): Queen Elizabeth I of England (1533-1603): Mary Stuart Queen of Scots (1542-1587): Anne of Denmark (1574-1619): and Spain's María Luisa de Orleáns (1662-1689) either succeeded in promoting authority and inspiring loyalty, or had identities shaped for them for various political, religious, or cultural reasons. Knowledge of material culture, and how such objects created specific gender identities, reveals new insights into these queens' lives, as they flourished in court, as members of their communities received them, and as individuals appropriated and shaped their reputations during their lives and after their deaths.

- Description
- This volume builds on existing scholarship on representations of the breast, the iconography of the Madonna Lactans, allegories of abundance, nature, and charity, women mystics' food-centered practices of devotion, the ubiquitous practice of wet-nursing, and medical theories of conception. It is informed by studies on queer kinship in early modern Europe, notions of sacred eroticism in pre-tridentine Catholicism, feminist investigations of breastfeeding as a sexual practice, and by anthropological and historical scholarship on milk exchange and ritual kinship in ancient Mediterranean and medieval Islamic societies.

- Description
- This book demonstrates how fiction and medicine have a tradition of looking towards each other for inspiration in questions of gender. Medical textbooks and pamphlets have cited fictional plots and characterisations as a way of communicating complex or 'sensitive' ideas. Essays explore historical accounts of clinical procedures, the relationship between gynaecology and psychology, and cultural conceptions of motherhood, fertility, and the female organisation through a broad range of texts including Henry More's Pre-Existency of the Soul (1659), Charlotte Brontë's Villette (1855), and Eve Ensler's Vagina Monologues (1998).

- Description
- This collection of essays explores how monstrosity challenged social, religious, sexual and natural structures and hierarchies in the period 1500-1750 and contributed to its knowledge, moral and emotional repertoire. Based on various medicinal and philosophical primary sources, exceptional bodies in the form of e.g. prodigious births, hermaphrodites, collections of extraordinary things, powerful women, disabilities, and shapeshifting phenomena are examined in a period before all varieties and differences became normalized to a homogenous standard.

- Description
- Organized according to three themes, 'Censorship and the Body,' 'Female Authority and Legal Discourse' and 'Private Lives and Public Opinions,' the essays in this collection focus on women’s knowledge and the discursive traces of their daily concerns found in various colonial genres. Women are considered as agents of history and as authors of written records produced either by their own hand or by means of dictations, collaborations, or rewritings of their oral renditions. Inhabiting the territories of the Iberian colonies from Peru to New Spain, the women studied in this volume come from different ethnic and social backgrounds, from African slaves to the indigenous elite and to those who arrived from Iberia and were known as 'Old Christians'
