Oppositional Voices Women As Writers and Translators of Literature in the English Renaissance

Oppositional Voices is a study of six women writers in the late Elizabethan period, who, ignoring Renaissance society's injunction that women should confine themselves to religious compositions, wrote and translated poetry, drama and romantic fiction. Tina Krontiris brings together their work, including at times their voiced opposition to certain oppressive ideas and stereotypes. Rather than simply glorify these voices, her study subtly probes the influence of a culture inimical to female creative activity on the writings of these women.Krontiris, Tina is the author of 'Oppositional Voices Women As Writers and Translators of Literature in the English Renaissance' with ISBN 9780415063296 and ISBN 0415063299.
