Summary:	"Recognizing that ideas about emotions vary historically as well as culturally, Kennedy draws from recent critical work on emotions by historians, literary scholars, philosophers, and psychologists, as well as comparative studies of the emotions by cultural anthropologists. She contends that ideas about women's anger in early modern England are both like and unlike those in twentieth-century America. Although women's anger is often dismissed as irrational in both eras, for instance, in the early modern era women were thought to become angry more often and more easily than men due to their inherent physiological, intellectual, and moral inferiority." "Kennedy demonstrates the importance of class and race as factors affecting anger's legitimacy and its forms of expression. She shows how early modern assumptions about women's anger can help to create or exaggerate other differences among women. Her close scrutiny of anger against female inferiority emphasizes the crucial role of emotions in the construction of self-worth and identity."--Jacket

Description
Summary:	Kennedy (English, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) investigates the subject of women's anger in early modern England. She analyzes portrayals of and attitudes toward women's anger in printed texts written or purporting to be written by women or the period. Drawing from recent critical work by historians, literary scholars, philosophers, psychologists, and cultural anthropologists, she compares women's ideas of anger in the early modern period to those of our own time. She also considers how these attitude reflect other attitudes about women in both time periods. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
