Part of the Routledge Research in Gender and History series
Hardback
Description
Do women have a history? Did women have a renaissance? These were provocative questions when they were raised in the heyday of women’s studies in the 1970s.
But how relevant does gender remain to premodern history in the twenty-first century?
This book considers this question in eight new case studies that span the European continent from 1400 to 1800.
An introductory essay examines the category of gender in historiography and specifically within premodern historiography, as well as the issue of source material for historians of the period.
The eight individual essays seek to examine gender in relation to emerging fields and theoretical considerations, as well as how premodern history contributes to traditional concepts and theories within women’s and gender studies, such as patriarchy.
