The Pregnant, Birthing, And Nurturing Body Is A Recurring Topos In Early Modern French Literature. Such Bodies, Often Metaphors For Issues And Anxieties Obtaining To The Gendered Control Of Social And Political Institutions, Acquired Much Of Their Descriptive Power From Contemporaneous Medical And Scientific Discourse. In This Study, Kirk Read Brings Together Literary And Medical Texts That Represent A Range Of Views, From Lyric Poets, Satirists And Polemicists, To Midwives And Surgeons, All Of Whom Explore The Popular Sixteenth And Early Seventeenthcentury Narratives Of Birth In France. Although The Rhetoric Of Birthing Was Widely Used, Strategies And Negotiations Depended Upon Sex And Gender; This Study Considers The Male, Female, And Hermaphroditic Experience, Offering Both An Analysis Of Women'S Experiences To Be Sure, But Also Opening Onto The Perspectives Of Nonfemale Birthers And Their Place In The Social And Political Climate Of Early Modern France. The Writers Explored Include Rabelais, Madeleine And Catherine Des Roches, Louise Boursier, Pierre De Ronsard, Pierre Boaistuau And Jacques Duval.
