Susan D. Amussen and David E. Underdown examine familiar chaotic characters from the period, such as scolds, cuckolds, witches and scandalous women, and consider the significance of the disorder they create and how they turn the ordered world around them upside down in a very specific, gendered way. Using case studies from theatre, civic ritual and witchcraft, the book demonstrates how the idea of an upside down world, centered on gender inversion, repeatedly permeates the mental world of early modern England. Amussen and Underdown show both how gender was central to understanding society, and the ways in which both unruly women and failed patriarchs were disciplined. In doing so, they give a glimpse of how we can connect different dimensions of early modern society. This is a vital study for anyone keen to know more about the importance of gender in society, culture and politics in 16th- and 17th-century England"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Unruly women -- Failed patriarchs -- Performing inversion : theatre, politics, and society -- Performing inversion in civic pageantry and charivari -- Witches, magicians, and the upside-down world. 650 0 $a Sex role $z England $x History. 650 0 $a Role reversal $z England $x History. 650 0 $a Women $z England $x History. 650 0 $a Patriarchy $z England $x History. 650 0 $a Politics and culture $z England $x History. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z England $x History. 651 0 $a England $x Social conditions $y 16th century. 651 0 $a England $x Social conditions $y 17th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Politics and government $y 1558-1603. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Politics and government $y 1603-1714. 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 650 7 $a Patriarchy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055082 650 7 $a Politics and culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069952 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Role reversal. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01099633 650 7 $a Sex role. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114598 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1500-1714 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Underdown, David, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Amussen, Susan Dwyer, author. $t Gender, culture and politics in England, 1560-1640 $d London ; New York : Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2017 $z 9781350020689 $w (DLC) 2016044816 830 0 $a Cultures of early modern Europe. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210014250.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CE84A9CAFDB011E7BCC604F996128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
