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.
When Professor Pononner invites his friends around one evening to
unwrap a newly acquired Mummy, little do they realise the horror
that awaits. The horror of reanimated corpses... ...falls from high
windows... ....and an overwhelming sense of British
embarrassment... This new adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's classic
black comedy is ideal for a performance on a cold winter's night or
to be read by the fireside with a glass of port.
Throughout the history of the church and the Scriptures, it seems
that people are always trying to accommodate the eternal truths of
God's Word to the Spirit of the Age. Following World War I, Harry
Emerson Fosdick popularized modern liberalism in America. J.
Gresham Machen led the Evangelical response, arguing for the
centrality of doctrine in defining Christianity. The battle between
these two men would shape American Christianity in the twentieth
century. This book examines the apologetic and philosophical
concerns behind the modern liberal movement and the strengths and
weaknesses of the Evangelical position, paying particular attention
to the lasting legacy of Machen. Since the same questions that
fueled the modern liberal movement continue to circulate and
influence generations of believers and non-believers, it seems that
the church must be more proactive in addressing these questions and
the doubts that undergird them.
