- Contents
- Cultural constructions of the notions of 'race', 'gender', and 'sexuality' are subject to historical change. By turning to the early modern period this class engages with an important and formative phase in the long and complex history of those concepts. Over the course of the summer term, we will study a broad selection of literary and theoretical texts in order to investigate the formation and intersection of notions of race, gender, and sexuality in English Renaissance literature and culture with a particular focus on early modern drama and historical contexts of intercultural contact. The reading for this class includes inter alia William Shakespeare's plays The Merchant of Venice and Othello, John Fletcher's The Island Princess and John Massinger's The Renegado.
- Recommended literature
- Please acquire copies of William Shakespeare's Othello and The Merchant of Venice (Arden Edition or New Cambridge Edition) and begin to read those plays during the term break. All other texts will be made available on StudOn.
