  • 'Renaissance Papers' collects the best scholarly essays submitted each year to the Southeastern Renaissance Conference. In the 2005 volume, two essays focus on Shakespeare: one on 'choric juxtaposition' in his twinned characters and one on the rhetoric of 'The Tempest'; another essay on drama considers Dryden's critical response to 'Epicoene'. There are two essays on John Donne, one on the choir space in his conduct of worship in St. Paul's and the other on the revisions to his 'Elegies'. Other essays consider the influence of Castiglione on the paintings of Bronzino, the metaphor of the horse and horsemanship in Sidney's poetics, and the role of conversation in Hutchinson and Milton. CONTRIBUTORS: GEORGE WALTON WILLIAMS, SARA VAN DEN BERG, JENNIFER BRADY, JOHN N. WALL, ERNEST W. SULLIVAN II, HEATHER L. HOLIAN, ANNE LAKE PRESCOTT, AND BOYD BERRY. M.

  • 'Renaissance Papers' collects the best scholarly essays submitted each year to the Southeastern Renaissance Conference. The 2008 volume, in keeping with the Conference's meeting at the new Blackfriars Playhouse at the American Shakespeare Center in Staunton, Virginia, has a special emphasis on the performance history of Renaissance drama. It includes essays on the use of trap doors in London theaters, on the staging of dismemberment in Renaissance plays, on the economics of the boys' companies, and on Jonson's engagement with changing patterns of theatrical patronage in 'Volpone'. An essay on 'Troilus and Cressida' and the history play rounds out the volume's studies in drama. Three essays treat epic from a variety of perspectives, considering in turn Spenser's techniques for leading readers to doubt his narrator in Book Three of the 'Faerie Queene', Marlowe's allusions to Lucan in 'Hero and Leander', and Milton's treatment of names and materialism in 'Paradise Lost'. Two essays examine decidedly different incidents of sixteenth-century religious controversy: Wolsey's use of Italian models to display his magnificence through his building program, and Thomas Stapleton's translation of Bede during the Great Controversy to refute Protestant claims about the origins of the English Church. Contributors: Jane Blanchard, Kevin M. Carr, Nicholas Crawford, Sara Nair James, Claire Kimball, C. Bryan Love, Pamela Royston Macfie, James J. Mainard O'Connell, Paul J. Stapleton, and Lewis Walker. Christopher Cobb is assistant professor of English at Saint Mary's College.

  • 'Renaissance Papers' collects the best essays submitted each year to the Southeastern Renaissance Conference. In the 2007 volume, two essays focus on Shakespeare's Roman plays: one on Lavinia's death and Roman suicide in 'Titus Andronicus,' the other on the rhetorical construction of masculinity in 'Julius Caesar.' Five essays address the literary implications of seventeenth-century religious belief and practice, considering the influence of the timing and delivery of sermons on John Donne, the impact of godly reforms on Thomas Browne's 'Religio Medici,' the effect of Scottish on English Presbyterianism during the 1640s, the critique of reformist utopianism in Margaret Cavendish's 'The Blazing World,' and the implications of 'Paradise Lost''s lack of a frontispiece. Two essays on sixteenth-century poetry look at the literary voices of commoners and of kings: one focuses on the portraits of women and commoners in 'A Mirror for Magistrates,' while the other examines the political implications of King James VI/I's metrical translations of David's Psalms. CONTRIBUTORS: REID BARBOUR, NORA L. CORRIGAN, WILLIAM A. COULTER, JULIE FANN, ROBERT KILGORE, SONYA FREEMAN LOFTIS, CHRISTOPHER HAIR, JIM PEARCE, and JOHN N. WALL. M. THOMAS HESTER is professor of English at North Carolina State University, and CHRISTOPHER COBB is assistant professor of English at Saint Mary's College.

  • This volume collects the best scholarly essays submitted to the Southeastern Renaissance Conference in 2006. Two focus on Shakespeare: one on twins in 'The Comedy of Errors,' one on differences between the Quarto and Folio versions of the reunion of Lear and Cordelia. Three essays deal with non-Shakespearean drama, examining the unvarying prefatory matter in frequently reprinted dramatic texts, economic systems in Middleton's city comedy, and theories of political resistance in revenge tragedy. Political resistance is also the theme of an essay on the satires of Donne and Propertius, while political legitimation is the subject of one on Medici family portraiture. Two essays concern Elizabethan anthologies: one on the unexamined collection 'Youthes Witte,' the other on childbirth prayers in 'The Monument of Matrones.' One essay on Milton's treatment of forgiveness and two on his 'Samson Agonistes' conclude the volume, showing the unexpected affinities between Milton's tragedy and Jonson's comedy 'Bartholomew Fair' and meditating upon the challenge to interpretation posed by end of the play. CONTRIBUTORS: JOHN ADRIAN, DAVID BERGERON, KEVIN DONOVAN, HEATHER L. SALE HOLIAN, MATTHEW T. LYNCH, STEVEN W. MAY, ANDREW SHIFFLETT, GERALD SNARE, SUSAN C. STAUB, EMILY STOCKARD, LEWIS WALKER, and GEORGE WALTON WILLIAMS. M. THOMAS HESTER is professor of English at North Carolina State University, and CHRISTOPHER COBB is assistant professor of English at Saint Mary's College.
