Hi ladies,
I know that quite a few of you (Marina and Jennifer are the two I remember specifically) were working on papers relating to Bradamant and gender within the text. I am doing something similar but relating them and comparing them to gender ideals within Don Quixote. BUT I'm having a heck of a time finding articles on Bradamant or even Angelica. I would really appreciate it if any of you have found something useful, or even a place to start. I've been floundering around on the MLA all morning but not having much luck finding articles I have access to. Anyways...if you could email me and we could perhaps confer mmesseng@sfu.ca that would be awesome!

One way to approach this is to look more generally for articles on cross-dressing in the Renaissance.
For instance,
"Fashioning Gender: Cross-Dressing in Spenser's Legend of Britomart and Artegal" by Stump, Donald Spenser Studies: A Renaissance Poetry Annual (SSt) 2001; 15: 95-119.
Arms and the Women: The Ovidian Eroticism of Harington's Ariosto By: Moulton, Ian Frederick. pp. 111-26 IN: Stanivukovic, Goran V.; Traub, Valerie (afterword); Ovid and the Renaissance Body. Toronto, ON: U of Toronto P; 2001. vi, 281 pp. (book article)
Valerie Traub's work in general might be useful too . . .
hey...i dont have any info on Bradamant, but i took out this book that talks about Britomart and Florimel if you are interested...
Hey - one interesting thing I've come across that you might want to check out, and I'm not sure how relevant this is, is information regarding the "Querelle des Femmes". It seems to have been an ongoing discussion in the period regarding the gender roles of women at the time...you might be able to take some of its ideals and apply them to the texts? Some of the ref. in one of my bibliographies includes
Ruth Kelso "Doctrine for the Lady of the Renaissance"
Joan Kelly "Early Feminist Theory and the Querelle des Femmes"
Pamela Benson "Independance and Fidelity: The Contributions of the Querelle des Femmes to the Orlando Furioso"
Don't feel obliged - just thought it might help!
