Beschreibung:
Elizabeth Mazzola is Professor of English at The City College of New York, CUNY. Among her three previous books is Women's Wealth and Women's Writing.
Focusing on the unusual learning and schooling of women in early modern England, this study explores how and why women wrote, the myriad forms their alphabets could assume, and the shape which vernacular literacy acquired in their hands. Mazzola argues that early modern women's writings were designed to conceal rather than reveal women's learning and schooling. Such difficult or 'resistant' literacy, Mazzola proposes, transformed the broader history of literacy in the West.
Contents: Introduction; Tutors and tailors; 'Blabbs' and cryptographers; Goneril and Oswald; Robert Dorsett's classroom; Learning to curse and learning to nurse; Bibliography; Index.
