PLACE, ROLE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE WOMAN IN THE 16TH AND 17TH CENTURY IN ENGLAND

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents a review of the place, role and understanding of the woman and the woman’s body in the 16th and the early 17th century in England. The society of the time perceived women and their bodies as a passive and powerless object. Today, we witness the transformation in the way we perceive women and their bodies. Their body has adopted a double role – a universal and an individual one. The aim of this research is to show the way in which such readings of covered women’s bodies by other identities and entities, ideological believes and cultural values of a period represent an inexhaustible stimulus for further researches, discourses and analysis (literary and theoretical), as well as a contribution to further studies of the female body and the issue of the physical.
