Controlling Congestion in Singapore: A Review of Government Policies
The essay uncovers evidence for the construction of the âwoman authorâ in the largely male vogue for bawdy burlesque poetry by tracing the circulation of a pair of verses through seventeenth-century manuscript and print miscellanies. It argues that just as these verses are reworked and recontextualised through the process of transmission, so to their âauthorsâ are re-embodied and ascribed different identities in different publication contexts. Female-voiced bawdy poetry raises particular problems for authorial attribution, rather than searching for the real woman behind the text, the essay examines how the âauthorsâ of female-voiced bawdy poetry were produced and reproduced through shifting formal frameworks and socioliterary networks
