The Polemics and Poems of Rachel Speght (Women Writers in English 1350-1850) pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Rachel Speght (1597-?) was the first Englishwoman to identify herself, unapologetically and by name, as a polemicist and critic of contemporary gender ideology. Her tract, "A Mouzell for Melastomus" (1617), is both a spirited answer to Joseph Swetnam's popular treatise attacking women and also a serious effort to stake women's claim to prevailing Protestant discourse of biblical exegesis, forcing it to yield a more expansive and more suitable concept of women's nature and role. Her volume of poetry, "Mortalities Memorandum, with a Dreame Prefixed" (1612), includes a long memento mori mediation and an allegorical dream vision that recounts her own rapturous encounter with learning. Both works vigorously defend women's education and the encouragement of women's talent.
