The Penguin Book of Renaissance Verse
by David Norbrook
Renaissance Self-Fashioning
by Stephen Jay Greenblatt
Examines how Marlowe, Spenser, and other sixteenth-century English authors sustained the illusion in their writing that each was the principle creator of his own identity.
Close Readers
by Alan Stewart
Humanism, in both its rhetoric and practice, attempted to transform the relationships between men that constituted the fabric of early modern society. So argues Alan Stewart in this ground-breaking investigation into the impact of humanism in sixteenth-century England. Here the author shows that by valorizing textual skills over martial prowess, humanism provided a new means of upward mobility for the lowborn but humanistically trained scholar: he could move into a highly intimate place in a noblemans household that was previously not open to him. Because of its novelty and secrecy, the intimacy between master and scholar was vulnerable to accusations of another type of intimacy sodomy. In comparing the ways both humanism and sodomy signaled a new economy of social relations capable of producing widespread anxiety, Stewart contributes to the foray of modern gay scholarship into Renais-sance art and literature. The author explores the intriguing relationship between humanism and sodomy in a series of case studies: the Medici court of the 1470s, the allegations against monks in the campaign to suppress the English monasteries, the institutionalized beating of young boys, the treacherous circle of the doomed Sir Thomas Seymour, and the closet secretaries of Elizabeths final years. Stewarts documentation comes from a wide range of underused materials, from schoolboys' grammar books to political writings, enabling him to reconstruct frequently misunderstood events in their original contexts.
A Feminist Perspective on Renaissance Drama
by Alison Findlay
This book uses the writings of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century women to construct a feminist perspective on drama by Shakespeare, Marlowe, Jonson, Middleton, Ford, and their contemporaries. We know that women made up a significant part of Renaissance theatre audiences. A Feminist Perspective on Renaissance Drama explores how they might they have read the plays presented there. The volume is arranged thematically around key issues or genres. It examines religious compositions, beliefs which underpinned relations between men and women, revenge tragedy, deep fears and desires about women's agency and maternal power, comedy, the female romantic quest, the city as a site of female pleasure, and the household space as a specifically female form of imprisonment. The final chapter discusses queenship, subjects, and women's interventions into masculine history.
