La Femme entre les deux ages? by an anonymous, VG. This book investigates the relatioship between psychoanalytic theory and the literature of the French Renaissance by eploring the issues of gender, the body and the dynamics of repression in the key literary figures of the period: Pernette du Guillet, Scéve, Rabelais, Marot, Marguerite de Navarre, Ronsard and Montaigne. Professor Kritzman's book concentrates on three major objectives: the representation of gender identity and sexual difference in French Renaissance texts; the questios on how the body is portrayed in the blason, love poetry, and prose of the period; and the ways in which figural language depicts the libidinal, political , and social tensions at work in texts. It is the first wide-ranging theoretical study to provide reading models to investigate the taboo subject of sexuality underlying literary production in the French Renaissace.
