Unknown Author

4.9/5 (16434 ratings)

Description:In the long eighteenth century, the image of the coquette was a staple in literature and society; she is the flirtatious woman, who offers what she does not intend to give. King and Schlick ( English, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario) have selected articles that go beyond the superficial stereotype and discuss the coquette in terms of changes in gender attitudes and social structure, the rise of popular science and an interest in understanding physical and emotional differences in men and women, and the rise of an affluent middle class and a desire for frivolous possessions. Mary Wollstonecraft was one of the most eloquent in denying that coquetry was natural to women. She saw it as a manifestation of women's oppression. Articles discuss literary representations in novels and the theater, including the use of the image of the coquette as both comic relief and moral example of shallow behavior. The final three essays focus on the coquet, the flirtatious man, an image that has faded.
