Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of the silent woman as a literary and historical figure, examining the significance of the voiceless woman and her representation in literature through an analysis of women in fiction, drama, and poetry from antiquity to the Renaissance. The author argues that the silent woman has been a persistent figure in literature, representing both the fear and the desire of male authors, as well as anxieties surrounding female speech and agency. The central chapters explore the silent woman as a source of fascination and horror, examining works by Apuleius, Shakespeare, and Hawthorne, among others. The author concludes by suggesting that the silent woman continues to resonate in contemporary culture, representing the tension between the desire for female silence and the fear of female speech.
