Her best-selling \u003ci\u003eNovelas amorosas\u003c\/i\u003e (1637) and \u003ci\u003eDesengaños amorosos\u003c\/i\u003e (1647) explore the pleasures and, more frequently, the perils of sex and marriage. Condemned as lewd, Zayas's work was excised from the literary canon by nineteenth-century scholars. But with the feminist revolution of the 1970s came a renewed interest in her fiction. Zayas's contemporary appeal is easily explained: through graphic images of violence against women and poignant examples of women's exclusion from social justice, she speaks to important issues of our own times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLisa Vollendorf illuminates this compelling author, using contemporary feminist theory to decipher the nuances of Zayas's complex ideologies. Revealing Zayas as a critical figure in European women's literary history, Vollendorf delineates the strategies and impulses behind early modern feminism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLisa Vollendorf is assistant professor in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at Wayne State University in Detroit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 236\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52702597513523,"sku":"9780807892749","price":55.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/RGdpWjZocE1uTi93NWdKWmJvN3V4dz09.webp?v=1763312424","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/reclaiming-the-body-maria-de-zayass-early-modern-feminism-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
