Gender, Power and Privilege in Early Modern Europe by Penny Richards

Organized into four sections, Courtly Worlds, Religious Experience, Civic Worlds, and Literature and Gender, this original collection provides a contemporary map with which to understand the past. The essays reflect the current trend towards integrating the historical experience of women and men. They focus on key areas of contemporary interest and importance, and incorporate research and research methods that have evolved over the last twenty years.
