In this second volume, Configuring the Female Prince in Seventeenth-Century French Drama, Conroy analyzes over 30 plays published between 1637 and 1691, examining the range of constructions of queenship that are thrown into relief. The analysis focuses on the ways in which certain texts strive to manage the cultural anxiety produced by female rule and facilitate the diminution of the uneasy cultural reality it represents, while others dramatize the exercise of political virtue by women, explode the myth of gender-differentiated sexual ethics, and suggest alternative constructions of gender relations to those upheld by the normative discourses of sexual difference. The approach is underpinned by an understanding of theatre as fundamentally political, a cultural institution implicated in the maintenance of, and challenge to, societal power relations. Innovative and stimulating, Conroyℓ́ℓs work will appeal to scholars of seventeenth-century drama and history of ideas, in addition to those interested in the history of women in political thought and the history of feminism. . 000753642 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 4, 2016). 000753642 650_0 $$aFrench drama$$y17th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000753642 650_0 $$aFrench drama (Tragedy)$$xHistory and criticism. 000753642 650_0 $$aQueens in literature. 000753642 650_0 $$aWomen in literature. 000753642 650_0 $$aWomen$$xPolitical activity$$zFrance. 000753642 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781349571673 000753642 830_0 $$aQueenship and power. 000753642 852__ $$bebk 000753642 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/9781137568489$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000753642 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:753642$$pGLOBAL_SET 000753642 980__ $$aEBOOK 000753642 980__ $$aBIB 000753642 982__ $$aEbook 000753642 983__ $$aOnline 000753642 994__ $$a92$$bISE
