Thesis (M.A.)--Utah State University, 2002.

In this thesis, I contextualize three literary attempts to define the female body in early modern England within cultural productions of meaning. As the texts struggle to establish and maintain control-textual, political, and economical in turn-over the female body, the limitations of that patriarchal control become clear. In looking at Edmund Spenser's <italic>The Faerie Queene </italic>, I concentrate on the narrator's attempts to control by sexualizing the female body. I then discuss the attempts to limit the power of Joan of Arc in William Shakespeare's <italic>Henry VI, Part One</italic>. Finally, I examine the marital paradigm that fetishizes female virginity in <italic> The Changeling</italic> by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley. In each case-even within the heavy-handed patriarchal paradigm that constructed the meaning of the female body in early modern England-the power and meaning of that body could not be entirely contained.Subjects--Topical Terms:
