Donne, Castiglione, and the Poetry of Courtliness
By: Wiggins, Peter DeSa
Published by: Indiana University Press
John Donne has been described as a 'poet of ambition' who used his poems as agents in his quest for preferment among the elites of Elizabethan and early Stuart London. Until now, the extent of the influence on Donne's work of the era's most influential text - Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier - has never been fully explored. Courtier was Elizabethan England's approved repository of the complex social codes that governed the behavior of those desiring advancement at Court. In these revelatory readings of some of Donne's best-known poems, Peter DeSa Wiggins demonstrates that this book fired Donne's imagination and that, in his secular poetry, Donne applies, adapts, and unfolds to its fullest potential the persona of the courtier.

The Feminization Debate in Eighteenth-Century England
By: Clery, E.J.
Published by: Palgrave Macmillan, Ltd.
In the Eighteenth Century, critics of capitalism denounced the growth of luxury and effeminacy supporters applauded the increase of refinement and the improved status of women. This pioneering study explores the way the association of commerce and femininity permeated cultural production. It looks at the first use of a female author as an icon of modernity in the Athenian Mercury, and reappraises works by Elizabeth Singer Rowe, Mandeville, Defoe, Pope and Elizabeth Carter. Samuel Richardson's novels represent the culmination of the English debate, while contemporary essays by David Hume move towards a fully fledged enlightenment theory of feminization.
