Whereas male-authored defences composed between 1440 and 1538 have previously been dismissed as "insincere" or "mere intellectual games," Swift formulates reading strategies to overcome such critical stumbling blocks and engage with the particular rhetorical and historical contexts of these works. Edited and as yet unedited texts by Martin Le Franc, Jacques Milet, Pierre Michault, and Jean Bouchet-catalogues of women, allegorical narratives, and debate poems-are brought together and analysed in detail for the first time in order to explore, for example, how such works address the misogynistic spectre of Jean de Meun's Roman de la rose. The book seeks to understand the contemporary popularity of the case for women (la querelle des femmes) as literary subject matter. It investigates the publication history across this period, from manuscript to print, of Le Franc's Le Champion des dames. Swift further aims to show how these texts hold interest for modern audiences. A nexus of theoretical concerns centred on performance - Judith Butler's gender performativity, Derrida's re- working of Austin's linguistic performativity through spectrality, and dramatic performance - is enlisted to articulate the interpretative engagement expected by querelle writers of their audience. --From publisher's description. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 To 1500|2fast 648 7 To 1599|2fast 650 0 French literature|yTo 1500|xHistory and criticism.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008104133 650 0 Women in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85147587 650 0 French literature|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85051865|xMale authors|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002007912|xHistory and criticism.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001187 650 7 French literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 934688 650 7 Women in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1177912 650 7 French literature|xMale authors.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1425354 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSwift, Helen J., 1979-|tGender, writing, and performance.|dOxford : Clarendon Press ; New York : Oxford University Press, ©2008|w(DLC) 2008295354 830 0 Oxford modern languages and literature monographs.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n42018414 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=271244|zOnline eBook.
