Riding the black ram. |
| Резюме: |
Disruptive women, with their real or imagined excesses, have long provided the material for literary and legal narratives. This work analyses a series of texts to demonstrate the persistence of certain gender stereotypes. In her 1820 trial for adultery Queen Caroline was depicted in a cartoon riding on a black ram that had the face of her Italian lover. As this book reveals, a number of women, remembered largely for their insubordinate presence, have metaphorically 'ridden the black ram' in the last 700 years. The author reveals a disquieting pattern in the representations of women, and provides a new recognition of the significance of sexuality and gender in the way we narrate our world. |
