Refashioning Ben Jonson - Gender, Politics, and the Jonsonian Canon (Hardcover): Julie Sanders, Kate Chedgzoy, Susan Wiseman Refashioning Ben Jonson - Gender, Politics, and the Jonsonian Canon (Hardcover)
Julie Sanders, Kate Chedgzoy, Susan Wiseman
R4,230 Discovery Miles 42 300 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This collection of multi-authored essays not only refashions and revises critical understandings of the early modern dramatist Ben Jonson and his canon of work, but is also self-reflexive about the process. It includes original essays by both established and emergent Jonson scholars, and employs materialist, feminist and queer theory in the production of its readings of Jonsonian playtexts and masques, familiar and otherwise. It is intended to encourage new approaches by students to this central figure from the Renaissance.

Early Modern Women and the Poem (Paperback): Susan Wiseman Early Modern Women and the Poem (Paperback)
Susan Wiseman
R760 Discovery Miles 7 600 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Viewing the poem as a social agent and product in women's lives, the essays in this collection examine factors influencing the relationships between writers and readers of poetry in seventeenth-century England and Scotland. The archival and theoretical research on literary authorship, textual transmission and socio-literary networks invites a re-examination of the production and reception of poetry, and alters our understanding of the way poetry participated in social, literary and political life. The volume takes account of the expansion and changes to the canon of women's poetry and emerging research on key aspects of literary production and reception. It builds on and responds to both recent critical emphasis on literary form and on archival scholarship in women's writing, understanding the two emphases to be mutually informative. -- .

Writing Metamorphosis in the English Renaissance - 1550-1700 (Hardcover): Susan Wiseman Writing Metamorphosis in the English Renaissance - 1550-1700 (Hardcover)
Susan Wiseman
R2,561 Discovery Miles 25 610 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Taking Ovid's Metamorphoses as its starting point, this book analyses fantastic creatures including werewolves, bear-children and dragons in English literature from the Reformation to the late seventeenth century. Susan Wiseman tracks the idea of transformation through classical, literary, sacred, physiological, folkloric and ethnographic texts. Under modern disciplinary protocols these areas of writing are kept apart, but this study shows that in the Renaissance they were woven together by shared resources, frames of knowledge and readers. Drawing on a rich collection of critical and historical studies and key philosophical texts including Descartes' Meditations, Wiseman outlines the importance of metamorphosis as a significant literary mode. Her examples range from canonical literature, including Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest, to Thomas Browne on dragons, together with popular material, arguing that the seventeenth century is marked by concentration on the potential of the human, and the world, to change or be changed.

Drama and Politics in the English Civil War (Hardcover, New): Susan Wiseman Drama and Politics in the English Civil War (Hardcover, New)

In 1642 an ordinance closed the theatres of England. Critics and historians have assumed that the edict was to be firm and inviolate. Susan Wiseman challenges this assumption and argues that the period 1640 to 1660 was not a gap in the production and performance of drama nor a blank space between 'Renaissance drama' and the 'Restoration stage'. Rather, throughout the period, writers focused instead on a range of dramas with political perspectives, from republican to royalist. This group included the short pamphlet dramas of the 1640s and the texts produced by the writers of the 1650s, such as William Davenant, Margaret Cavendish and James Shirley. In analysing the diverse forms of dramatic production of the 1640s and 1650s, Wiseman reveals the political and generic diversity produced by the changes in dramatic production, and offers insights into the theatre of the Civil War.

At the Borders of the Human - Beasts, Bodies and Natural Philosophy in the Early Modern Period (Paperback, Revised): Susan... At the Borders of the Human - Beasts, Bodies and Natural Philosophy in the Early Modern Period (Paperback, Revised)
Susan Wiseman, Erica Fudge, Ruth Gilbert
R1,451 Discovery Miles 14 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

What is, what was the human? This book argues that the making of the human as it is now understood implies a renogotiation of the relationship between the self and the world. The development of Renaissance technologies of difference such as mapping, colonialism and anatomy paradoxically also illuminated the similarities between human and non-human. This collection considers the borders between humans and their imagined others: animals, women, native subjects, machines. It examines border creatures (hermaphrodites, wildmen, and cyborgs) and border practices (science, surveying, and pornography).

Conspiracy and Virtue - Women, Writing, and Politics in Seventeenth-Century England (Hardcover): Susan Wiseman Conspiracy and Virtue - Women, Writing, and Politics in Seventeenth-Century England (Hardcover)
Susan Wiseman
R3,554 Discovery Miles 35 540 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

What was the relationship between woman and politics in seventeenth-century England? Responding to this question, Conspiracy and Virtue argues that theoretical exclusion of women from the political sphere shaped their relation to it. Rather than producing silence, this exclusion generated rich, complex, and oblique political involvements which this study traces through the writings of both men and women. Pursuing this argument Conspiracy and Virtue engages the main writings on women's relationship to the political sphere including debates on the public sphere and on contract theory. Writers and figures discussed include Elizabeth Avery, Aphra Behn, Anne Bradstreet, Maragret Cavendish, Queen Christina of Sweden, Anne Halkett, Brilliana Harley, Lucy Hutchinson, John Milton, Elizabeth Poole, Sara Wight, and Henry Jessey.

It will appeal to any scholar of literature and gender working in Renaissance and seventeenth century studies. -- .
