  • EN 354: Queer-Straight-Love in Renaissance Texts

    3.00 Credits
    Eastern Connecticut State University

    "True Love," invented in the late Middle Ages, was a widespread topic in Renaissance literature.The descendant of True Love, or "romantic love," is assumed today to be heteronormative (positing a heterosexual prince-and-princess love as "normal").Yet the True Love of Renaissance texts is not so confined.Written centuries before Western society, in the late 1800s, began identifying individuals by their sexual desires, Renaissance texts have a more fluid conception of love and sexuality than our contemporary "definitions." The poems of Shakespeare, Katherine Philips.Spenser, Michelangelo, Mary Wroth, Donne, Aphra Behn, and others, along with Plato's Symposium, provide a fertile ground to critique and problematize, or "queer" (as a verb), today's supposedly simple concept of "straight," orthodox, or heteronormative love.Renaissance texts reveal a wide range of non-heteronormative representa-tions of love.Genuine or "true" love, still an ideal for many, is today assumed to be individually chosen and nuanced.Renaissance love texts help us understand our complex choices, as do classical texts and recent scholarly theory.(Prerequisite: EN 12 or equivalent)
