Synopsis "The Limits of Eroticism in Post-Petrarchan Narrative Hardback: Conditional Pleasure From Spenser to Marvell (Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture) (in English)"
The poet Petrarch imagined that the hopeless but pure love of a woman could lead a man to heaven. In sixteenth-century England Edmund Spenser wrote poetry in the petrarchan tradition while heightening its dilemmas--flirting with a very different kind of feminine image. Dorothy Stephens shows that this flirtation emerges only in conditional language and situations, and that the eroticism the reader feels often belies a narrator's insistence that it is illusory. She goes on to look at responses to Spenser's eroticism among male and female writers in the seventeenth century.
