| Research Abstract |
The aims of this research conducted during the three years (2002,2003,2004) are to examine how women's attempts to construct their subjectivity are represented in the culture of early modern England and, to explore the cultural and social significance of these representations in terms of gender and sexuality. The approach to be taken for this purpose is to juxtapose the representations made by male writers with those by women writers in the Elizabethan and Jacobean period. The focus is placed on comparative studies of the representations of female assertion of selfhood in male-authored plays, especially of Shakespeare, Webster, Middleton, and Beaumont and Fletcher, and those in women's writings, especially by Mary Wroth, Mary Sidney Herbert and Elizabeth Cary.
