Claire McEachern aims to recontextualize our understanding of the term literary through an examination of Spenser, Shakespeare and Drayton.

Four years later Phillip Stubbes claimed that male actors who wore women's clothing could literally 'adulterate' male gender and fifty years after this in a tract which may have hastened the closing of the theatres, William Prynne described a man whom women's clothing had literally caused to 'degenerate' into a women.

The Limits of Eroticism in Post-Petrarchan Narrative : Conditional Pleasure from Spenser to Marvell
by Dorothy Stephens, Stephen Orgel, Anne Barton, Jonathan Dollimore, Marjorie Garber, Jonathan Goldberg, Nancy Vickers, Peter Holland, Kate Mcluskie
Digital, Published by Cambridge University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-511-15002-9, ISBN: 0-511-15002-4

"The poet Petrarch imagined that the hopeless but pure love of a woman could lead a man to heaven. In sixteenth-century England Edmund Spenser wrote poetry in the petrarchan tradition while heightening its dilemmas--flirting with a very different kind of feminine image. Dorothy Stephens shows that this flirtation emerges only in conditional language and situations, and that the eroticism the reader feels often belies a narrator's insiste ..."

"This book analyzes the discourses and practices that defined Renaissance theater, as related to the development of encyclopedic texts and vice versa. Looking at what "theater" meant to medieval and Renaissance writers and critics, William West sets Renaissance drama within one of its cultural and intellectual contexts.
