C. Harker - Böcker

This collection is a critical and theoretical study of women as the subjects of writing and as writers in medieval and early modern Scottish literature. The essays draw on a diverse range of literary, historical, cultural, and religious sources in Scots, Gaelic and English to discover the complex ways in which "Woman" was represented and by which women represented themselves as creative subjects. "Woman and the Feminine in Medieval and Early Modern Scotland" brings to light previously unknown writing by women in the early modern period and offers interpretations of early Scottish texts from feminist and theoretical perspectives.
