Taylor & Francis Ltd Early Modern Others
Book SynopsisEarly Modern Others highlights instances of challenges to misogyny, racism, atheism, and antisemitism in the early modern period. Through deeply historicizing early modern literature and looking at its political and social contexts, Peter C. Herman explores how early modern authors challenged the biases and prejudices of their age.By examining the works of Thomas More, William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, John Fletcher, and Philip Massinger amongst others, Herman reveals that for every -ism in early modern English culture there was an anti-ism pushing back against it. The book investigates others in early modern literature through indigenous communities, women, religion, people of color, and class.This innovative book shows that the early modern period was as complicated and as contradictory as the world today. It will offer valuable insight for anyone studying early modern literature and culture, as well as social justice and intersectionality.Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroductionChapter 1: Thomas More’s Utopia and the "New World"Chapter 2: "I am no child, no babe": The Shrew PlaysChapter 3: "That’s More than We Know": The Crisis of the 1590s in Deloney, Dekker, and ShakespeareChapter 4: The Circulation of Atheism in Early Modern England: Tamburlaine, Selimus, and King Lear Chapter 5: The Religious "Other" in Early Modern England: The Jew of Malta, The Merchant of Venice, and The RenegadoChapter 6: Othello and London’s Africans Works CitedIndex

Taylor & Francis The Routledge Handbook of Shakespeare and Memory
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Handbook of Shakespeare and Memory introduces this vibrant field of study to students and scholars, whilst defining and extending critical debates in the area. The book begins with a series of Critical Introductions offering an overview of memory in particular areas of Shakespeare such as theatre, print culture, visual arts, post-colonial adaptation and new media. These essays both introduce the topic but also explore specific areas such as the way in which Shakespeareâs representation in the visual arts created a national and then a global poet.The entries then develop into more specific studies of the genre of Shakespeare, with sections on Tragedy, History, Comedy and Poetry, which include insightful readings of specific key plays. The book ends with a state of the art review of the area, charting major contributions to the debate, and illuminating areas for further study.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Shakespeare and the Power of the Face
Book SynopsisThroughout his plays, Shakespeare placed an extraordinary emphasis on the power of the face to reveal or conceal moral character and emotion, repeatedly inviting the audience to attend carefully to facial features and expressions. The essays collected here disclose that an attention to the power of the face in Shakespeare's England helps explain moments when Shakespeare's language of the self becomes intertwined with his language of the face. As the range of these essays demonstrates, an attention to Shakespeare's treatment of faces has implications for our understanding of the historical and cultural context in which he wrote, as well as the significance of the face for the ongoing interpretation and production of the plays. Engaging with a variety of critical strands that have emerged from the so-called turn to the body, the contributors to this volume argue that Shakespeare's invitation to look to the face for clues to inner character is not an invitation to seek a static text bTrade Review'At once matter and metaphor, inside and outside, nature and art, self and other, the face is a crossroads; in their own facial theory and practice, the early moderns left us a window to their souls and a map of their world. With remarkable depth and methodological range, these essays chart that terrain, revealing the early modern face as a focal point of ideological negotiation, ethical encounter, and theatrical exchange. As unique, rich, and varied as its object of study, Shakespeare and the Power of the Face opens new avenues of thought and research that have been staring, so to speak, right at us.' Richard Preiss, author of Clowning and Authorship in Early Modern Theatre"The collection, complemented by an extensive bibliography, is structured to appeal to both early modern scholars and students in many fields including theatre, literature, and cultural studies." - Bríd Phillips, The University of Western AustraliaTable of ContentsShakespeare and the power of the face. Part 1 Powerful Faces: 'Thy face is mine': faces and fascination in Shakespeare's plays. Fashioning the face: embodiment and desire in early modern poetry. Facing marital cruelty in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew and early modern London. Part 2 Signifying Faces: The two faces of Othello. Facing King Lear. Complex complexions: the facial signification of the black other in Lust's Dominion. Part 3 Staged Faces 'I knew by his face there was something in him': buried stage directions and authorial control. The play of looks: audience and the force of the early modern face. 'The counterfeit presentment of two brothers': the power of portraits in Hamlet. 'This painting wherein you see me smeared': Francis Bacon, Coriolanus, and the brutality of facialization.
