  Article:   GENDERED AMBIGUITIES OF THE ESSAY.

Authors:  MIHAELA MUDURE.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  The theoretical frame of the paper is the intersection gender and genre through the analysis of two essays by two early modern English writers: Francis Bacon and Mary Astell. The essay itself is an ambiguous genre. We are using the word ambiguous in the sense that it has more than one meanings. Gender increases this "ambiguity" by pointing to mentality differences. These differences are also mitigated by writers’ different aesthetic capabilities.
