They made gestures toward a utopian future involving female emancipation and gender agreement, but depicted a world too complex for simple answers. In the first book-length exploration of the two authors together, Holmesland reevaluates the nature of utopianism in the writings of both, considering a wide range of their literary output. Both writers try to avoid fixed positions, exploring areas in between, seeking mediating solutions through "utopian negotiation." Requiring more equal gender relations, for instance, they challenge patriarchalism; however, while seeking to redefine the heroic code of honor, idealizing gentleness in men, they call for a femininity with heroic resources. Aspiring to such ideals of male-female mutuality, both authors extend this thinking to their view of the body politic. Capacious in scope, this book illuminates the work of two ground-breaking writers, and in doing so, gives them a much deserved, wider audience."--Publisher's website. 000716540 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000716540 60010 $$aBehn, Aphra,$$d1640-1689$$xCriticism and interpretation. 000716540 60010 $$aNewcastle, Margaret Cavendish,$$cDuchess of,$$d1624?-1674$$xCriticism and interpretation. 000716540 650_0 $$aWomen and literature$$zEngland$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000716540 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHolmesland, Oddvar.$$tUtopian negotiation : Aphra Behn & Margaret Cavendish.$$bFirst edition.$$dSyracuse, New York : Syracuse University Press, 2013$$z9780815633129$$w(DLC) 2013003950$$w(OCoLC)813949520 000716540 8520_ $$bacq 000716540 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000716540 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url= https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3410167$$zOnline Access 000716540 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:716540$$pGLOBAL_SET 000716540 980__ $$aEBOOK 000716540 980__ $$aBIB 000716540 982__ $$aEbook 000716540 983__ $$aOnline
