"This persuasive book describes the complex, often violent connections between body and voice in Ovid's Metamorphoses and narrative, lyric and dramatic works by Petrarch, Marston and Shakespeare. Lynn Enterline analyzes what happens when Renaissance authors revisit Ovid's stories of violence and desire, paying close attention to the ways in which his subversive representations of gender, sexuality and the body influence later conceptions ..."
"Here the author explores the dynamics of imitation among early modern European powers in literary and historiographical texts from sixteenth and early seventeenth-century Spain, Italy, England, and the New World. The book considers a broad sweep of material, including European representations of New World subjects and of Islam. It supplements the transatlantic perspective on early modern imperialism with an awareness of the situation in ..."

The study reviews the most recent methodologies of textual scholarship, the new history of the Elizabethan theater, performance theory, and film and video interpretation, and offe ..."
"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 ..."

"The authors take the initial position that the Work Relation act (WRA) changes- through to 2005- were a break from and not an extension of a reform process initiated by previous Labor governments."
"After the exotic eroticism of Antony and Cleopatra, Shakespeare returned to Rome for one of his final tragedies, and the change could not have been more dramatic. Coriolanus is one of Shakespeare's harshest and most challenging studies of power, politics and masculinity, based around the life of Caius Marcius. Based on the Roman chronicles of Plutarch's Lives and Livy's History of Rome, the play is set in the early years of the Roman R ..."
"This Roman play is one of Shakespeare's last tragedies, best known for its political and military themes. Its hero, Coriolanus, is a proud General who does not hesitate to show his arrogant and outspoken contempt of the Roman rabble. The Tribunes banish him and he raises an army to take his revenge on Rome. He finally concedes to the pleas of his mother to spare the city and leaves only to be publicly killed by his former allies.Peter H ..."

"The text of Titus Andronicus asks the Lavinia actor to embrace oxymoron, to use
his (or her) body as a 'map of woe, that ... dost talk in signs' (3.2.12), a figurative
and emblematic trope pointing to the human cost of the play's central themes:
loyalty, revenge, filial duty, the lust for power and dominion. Lavinia's stage and
screen body accordingly derives power from the fact that it is a channel through
which much of the play's ..."

"This makes for uncomfortable reading alongside David Sturzaker's remarks,
quoted earlier, about the same production's 'wonderful', 'mental' and 'raucous'
audiences. Rees's report instances a predicament which admits of no easy
solutions, and it is little surprise that she states that 'Lavinia has left me with more
of a wound than I thought she would. It's something I don't really want to think
about.'26 Generally, the actors recogn ..."
