Sixty-sixth annual volume, taking in a range of topics relating to
the literature of the period, from the power of naming to
Shakespeare and Spenser, Herbert, Margaret Tyler and Margaret
Cavendish, and Ben Jonson. Renaissance Papers collects the best
scholarly essays submitted each year to the Southeastern
Renaissance Conference. The 2019 volume, the sixty-sixth annual,
features essays from the conference held at North Carolina
StateUniversity, as well as essays submitted directly to the
journal. The volume opens with an essay on the power of naming in
creating early modern subjectivities, followed by a pair of
provocative discussions of Shakespeare's plays:the first addresses
temporal gaps in A Winter's Tale; the second is a reading of
misogyny in The Taming of the Shrew in which Petruchio is no longer
seen as "the true tamer." The two essays at the epicenter of
thisyear's volume focus on religious topics, with a consideration
of the mystical, specifically the notion of ascesis, in the work of
Shakespeare and Spenser, followed by a more sublunary presentation
of religious themes in George Herbert's estate poems. The next
essay proposes a novel source for Margaret Tyler's reference to
"the Jews" in her "Mirror of Princely Deeds and Knighthood" and is
followed by a reconsideration of the variety of epitaphic subgenres
available in the seventeenth century. The penultimate essay
addresses Margaret Cavendish, Ben Jonson, and humanist dramaturgy,
and the essay that concludes the journal examines Jonson's attempts
to construct a hierarchy of literaryvalue within the complex
constraints of the early modern marketplace.

Sixty-fifth annual volume, focusing notably on Shakespearean drama
and the poetry of early modern England but with essays on a variety
of other topics relevant to the period. Renaissance Papers collects
the best scholarly essays submitted each year to the Southeastern
Renaissance Conference. The 2018 volume features essays presented
at the conference at Queens University of Charlotte, North
Carolina, as well as essays submitted directly to the journal. The
volume opens with four essays on Shakespearean drama, offering
readings ranging from the heteroglossia in Henry VIII to the limits
of language in King Lear, social networks in Anthony and Cleopatra,
and epiphanic excursions in the Shakespearean corpus. The next
essays look at iconology, agency, and alterity on the early modern
stage and colonial Peruvian art. The journal then returns us to the
poetry of early modern England. The first of this group explores
the perils of poor reading in The Countess of Montgomery's Uriana
and is followed by essays investigating the aesthetic connection
between Spenser and Catullus and the sacred circularities in John
Donne's "Good Friday 1613. Riding Westward." The volume concludes
with an extended consideration of meritocracy and misogyny in the
works of Ben Jonson. Contributors: Nathan Dixon, Lisandra Estevez,
Melissa J. Rack, Robert Lanier Reid, Rachel M. De Smith Roberts,
Deneen Senasi, Jonathon Shelley, Kendall Spillman, John Wall, and
Don E. Wayne. The journal is edited by Jim Pearce of North Carolina
Central University and Ward Risvold of the University of
California, San Diego.
