Wanton Eyes and Chaste Desires: Female Sexuality in the Faerie Queene
Sheila T. Cavanagh
Presents an investigation of sexual ideology in "The Faerie Queene", combining theoretical advances in feminist scholarship and research on Elizabethan accounts of women with an examination of the representations of female sexuality. This work points to the poem's pervasive emphasis on locating the roots of "virtue" in "manliness."
