Book Synopsis Performing Maternity in Early Modern England by : Kathryn M. Moncrief
Book excerpt: The essays in Performing Maternity in Early Modern England explore maternity's textual and cultural representation, performative aspects and practical consequences from 1540-1690. They emphasize that the embodied, repeated and public nature of maternity defines it as inherently performative and ultimately central to the production of gender identity in the period.
