In Mimesis and Empire , first published in 2001, Barbara Fuchs explores the intricate dynamics of imitation and contradistinction among early modern European powers in literary and historiographical texts from sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Spain, Italy, Engl ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-521-80914-6, ISBN: 0-521-80914-2

"This book analyzes the discourses and practices that defined Renaissance theater, as related to the development of encyclopedic texts and vice versa. Looking at what "theater" meant to medieval and Renaissance writers and critics, William West sets Renaissance drama within one of its cultural and intellectual contexts. Although the study focuses on the Renaissance, it also draws on and analyzes substantial classical and medieval materia ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-521-80849-1, ISBN: 0-521-80849-9

With a detailed account of household practices, this study interprets plays on the London stage in reference to the first printed cookbooks in England. Working from original historical sources, Wall reveals that domesticity was represented as "familiar" as well as "exotic". She analyzes a wide range of plays i ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-521-81217-7, ISBN: 0-521-81217-8

"What is the history of authorship, of invention, of intellectual property? Joseph Loewenstein describes the fragmentary and eruptive emergence of a key phase of the bibliographical ego, a specifically Early Modern form of authorial identification with printed writing. In the work of many playwrights and non-dramatic writers - and especially that of Ben Jonson - that identification is tinged, remarkably, with possessiveness. This 2002 bo ..."

"This original study examines how Shakespeare and his contemporaries made the difficult transition from writing plays for the theater to publishing them as literary works. Douglas Brooks analyzes how and why certain plays found their way into print while many others failed to do so and looks at the role played by the Renaissance book trade in shaping literary reputations. Incorporating many finely-observed typographical illustrations, th ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-521-58234-6, ISBN: 0-521-58234-2

Close readings of plays from Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost to Thomas Dekker's Whore of Babylon, and of poems, didactic treatises and autobiographical writings from the s ..."






The Limits of Eroticism in Post-Petrarchan Narrative
Conditional Pleasure from Spenser to Marvell (Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture)
by Dorothy Stephens, Anne Barton, Marjorie B. Garber, Professor Jonathan Goldberg, Nancy Vickers, Kate Mcluskie
Hardcover, 264 Pages, Published 1999 by Cambridge University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-521-63064-1, ISBN: 0-521-63064-9

"The poet Petrarch imagined that the hopeless but pure love of a woman could lead a man to heaven. In sixteenth-century England Edmund Spenser wrote poetry in the petrarchan tradition while heightening its dilemmas--flirting with a very different kind of feminine image. Dorothy Stephens shows that this flirtation emerges only in conditional language and situations, and that the eroticism the reader feels often belies a narrator's insiste ..."

Hardcover, 210 Pages, Published 1998 by Cambridge University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-521-62379-7, ISBN: 0-521-62379-0

"Celia Daileader explores the paradoxes of eroticism in early modern English drama, where women and their bodies (represented by boy actors) were materially absent and yet symbolically central. Accounting for the significance of the space offstage, where most sexual acts take place, Daileader looks to the suppression of religious drama in England and the resulting secularization of the stage. She draws together questions about sexuality ..."
