  • The Medicalisation of Menopause in Early Modern English Medical And
    58 The Medicalisation of Menopause in Early Modern English Medical and Popular Literature Anna Graham (Queen's University Belfast) The medicalisation of menopause is a practice that regulates the natural processes of the female body and treats any deviation from the expected normative function as a deficiency to be cured. The medicalisation of menopause is usually spoken about in reference to the practice of treating menopause with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). While hormone replacement therapy has been widely prescribed for menopause since the 1940s, the medicalisation of menopause became a major concern for feminist critics in the eighties and nineties when it was discovered that HRT had numerous negative side effects, yet was still being prescribed for something natural.1 While the medicalisation of menopause can therefore be seen as a relatively contemporary concern in feminist medical discourse, various scholars of the nineteenth century have engaged with how the evidence of our current modes of the medicalisation of menopause have developed through history.2 These scholars contend that our current modes of medicalising menopause draw on the sexist rhetoric of the Victorian period which framed women’s bodies as inherently dysfunctional. I argue that this narrative can be drawn back even further by considering how menopause was spoken about in the early modern period. 1 Madeleine Josephine Murtagh.

    A STUDY IN CONTRASTS: MARY COLLIER AND MARY LEAPOR’S DIVERSE CONTRIBUTIONS TO EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY BRITISH LABORING-CLASS WOMEN’S POETRY _________________ A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of English University of Houston _________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _________________ By Kathy G. Fellers August, 2013 A STUDY IN CONTRASTS: MARY COLLIER AND MARY LEAPOR’S DIVERSE CONTRIBUTIONS TO EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY BRITISH LABORING-CLASS WOMEN’S POETRY _________________ An Abstract of a Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Department of English University of Houston _________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy _________________ By Kathy G. Fellers August, 2013 ABSTRACT Mary Collier and Mary Leapor (two of the first laboring-class female authors) share many characteristics, least of which is their desire to be writers and to depict and comment on gender and class dynamics more accurately than had been done before. This artistic focus on “the gap between the ideal and the real” (Messenger 172-174) is partly rooted in the mode of satire where writers create irony by contrasting more realistic images or situations with idealized ones (often implicitly). Part of satire’s purpose is amusement, but equally important is its social critique. Hence, Collier and Leapor are very much writers of their age, yet while they both reflect the writing impulses of the eighteenth-century, they draw from a mixture of different writing traditions. Moreover, their differing economic, creative, and educational circumstances make for significant differences in their writing, despite their common laboring-class backgrounds.

  • '“Before Midnight She Had Miscarried”: Women, Men and Miscarriage in Early Modern England'
    ‘“Before Midnight she had Miscarried”: Women, Men and Miscarriage in Early Modern England’. Abstract Reproduction and Childbirth in the early modern era have sometimes been represented as a uniquely feminine experience. Similarly, studies of domestic medicine have in the past overlooked the role that men played in domestic health care practices. This article builds on recent work that resituates men within both of these discourses by considering the ways in which men understood, discussed and responded to the threat and occurrence of miscarriage in the women they knew. It considers a range of medical literature, spiritual diaries and letters to illuminate that men were a central feature of many women’s experiences of miscarriage. Introduction Miscarriage was an acknowledged danger for pregnant women in early modern England. It threatened not only the life of the developing foetus, but the woman’s future reproductive health and in some cases her life. Miscarriage was a common event which appears regularly in all genres of literature from life-writing to medical treatises. Miscarriages, or spontaneous abortions, were a familiar experience for many. As Raymond A. Anselment has noted, the threat of the loss of a foetus was far greater than that of maternal death in pregnancy.1 That it happened frequently did not lessen the fear and anxiety women experienced when faced with the prospect of losing their child, as is seen in a letter from Anna, Lady Meautys to her cousin Jane, Lady Cornwallis Bacon from March 1641: Now concerning myself, since the departure of my daughter I have been very dangerously ill.

Additionally, Part I explores the ways that women writers crossed generic boundaries. The second part contains chapters on many of the key genres in which women wrote, including poetry, drama, fiction (early and later), history, the ballad, periodicals, and travel writing. The Companion also provides an introduction surveying the state of the field, an integrated chronology, and a guide to further reading. catherine ingrassia is Professor of English at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.

    Introduction: Female friendship, community and retreat Friendship still has been design‘d, The Support of Human-kind; The safe Delight, the useful Bliss, The next World‘s Happiness, and this. Give then, O indulgent Fate! Give a Friend in that Retreat (Tho‘ withdrawn from all the rest) Still a Clue, to reach my Breast. Let a Friend be still convey‘d Thro‘ those Windings, and that Shade! Where, may I remain secure, Waste, in humble Joys and pure, A Life, that can no Envy yield; Want of Affluence my Shield.1 Anne Finch’s “The Petition for an Absolute Retreat” is one of a number of verses by early modern women which engage with the poetic traditions of friendship and the pastoral.2 Finch employed the imagery and language of the pastoral to shape a convivial but protected space of retreat. The key to achieving the sanctity of such a space is virtuous friendship, which Finch implies is both enabled by and enabling of pastoral retirement. Finch’s retreat is not an absolute retirement; she calls for “a Friend in that Retreat / (Tho’ withdrawn from all the rest)” to share in the “humble Joys and pure” of the pastoral. Friendship is “design’d [as] the Support of Human-kind”, a divine gift to ease the burden of human reason and passion. The cause of “the next World’s Happiness, and this”, 1 Anne Finch, “The Petition for an Absolute Retreat” in Miscellany Poems, on Several Occasions, printed for J.B. and sold by Benj.

Inevitably linked to Milton’s Restoration reputation as spokesman for the Protectorate and regicides, Paradise Lost’s reception in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries is marked by a series of approaches and retreats, repressions and recoveries. This dissertation examines the critical interventions made by P.H. (traditionally identified as Patrick Hume), John Dennis, Joseph Addison, and Richard Bentley into the reception history of a poem burdened by political and religious baggage. It seeks to illuminate the manner in which these earliest commentators sought to separate Milton’s politics from his poem, rendering the poem “safe” by removing it from contemporary political discourse.
