Abstract:
»Cristine Varholy’s essay on violence and female agency in early modern London analyzes rape narratives found in the Bridewell court records in which women testified that their sexual behavior was caused by violence or compulsion. Extending the argument made by Natalie Davis in Fiction in the Archives (1987), Varholy demonstrates how these narratives were carefully shaped so that these women could present themselves as behaving appropriately according to early modern gender norms.«
