Helga L. Duncan shows how some early modern English writers and dramatists (including Spenser, Marlowe, and Shakespeare) turned to gender as they imagined sacred spaces in the wake of early modern religious reformations, with particular attention to the role that gender roles played in this process.
This book uncovers the impact of the Romantic-era essay on the development of realism in the later nineteenth century. It discusses how the literary essay can illuminate the means by which writers felt they could know the world they inhabited.

This book pursues these questions and, in so doing, discovers the extraordinary cultural labor necessary to produce and sustain the fiction of the "whore" as a readily apprehensible category of sexual knowledge.
