Dealing with questions of the meaning of eroticism in Renaissance
England and its separation from other affective relations, Queer
Renaissance Historiography examines the distinctive arrangement of
sexuality during this period, and the role that queer theory has
played in our understanding of this arrangement. As such this book
not only reflects on the practice of writing a queer history of
Renaissance England, but also suggests new directions for this
practice. Queer Renaissance Historiography collects original
contributions from leading experts, participating in a range of
critical conversations whilst prompting scholars and students alike
to reconsider what we think we know about sex and sexuality in
Renaissance England. Presenting ethical, political and critical
analyses of Early Modern texts, this book sets the tone for future
scholarship on Renaissance sexualities, making a timely
intervention in theoretical and methodological debates.

Premodern Ecologies in the Modern Literary Imagination explores how
the cognitive and physical landscapes in which scholars conduct
research, write, and teach have shaped their understandings of
medieval and Renaissance English literary "oecologies." The
collection strives to practice what Ursula K. Heise calls
"eco-cosmopolitanism," a method that imagines forms of local
environmentalism as a defense against the interventions of
open-market global networks. It also expands the idea's
possibilities and identifies its limitations through critical
studies of premodern texts, artefacts, and environmental history.
The essays connect real environments and their imaginative
(re)creations and affirm the urgency of reorienting humanity's
responsiveness to, and responsibility for, the historical links
between human and non-human existence. The discussion of ways in
which meditation on scholarly place and time can deepen ecocritical
work offers an innovative and engaging approach that will appeal to
both ecocritics generally and to medieval and early modern
scholars.
