Prerequisite: Sophomore standing or higher or permission of instructor. An exploration of Elizabethan literature in its literary and cultural context. Examines the ways in which writers deployed poetry, prose and drama in the service of political ambition, literary aspiration and religious sentiment, as well as erotic desire. The broad goal is to use these literary expressions to discuss the ways that subjectivity in the Renaissance rested uneasily on distinctions between self-assertion and narcissism, soul and body, health and disease. Particular attention is given to ways in which poetic expression contributes to the gendering of subjectivity. Offered in alternate years. MacInnes.
