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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Thomas More’s \u003ci\u003eUtopia\u003c\/i\u003e and the \"New World\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: \"I am no child, no babe\": The Shrew Plays\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: \"That’s More than We Know\": The Crisis of the 1590s in Deloney, Dekker, and Shakespeare\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: The Circulation of Atheism in Early Modern England: \u003ci\u003eTamburlaine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSelimus\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: The Religious \"Other\" in Early Modern England: \u003ci\u003eThe Jew of Malta\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Merchant of Venice\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Renegado\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: \u003ci\u003eOthello \u003c\/i\u003eand London’s Africans \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018954342743,"sku":"9781032293660","price":35.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032293660.jpg?v=1750778804","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/early-modern-others-9781032293660","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
