Long a figure of spectacular epic imagination appearing in the central cosmological and philosophical literatures extending as far back as the Hellenic texts, “hermaphrodites” have been made to bear the burden of cultural anxieties regarding sexual difference and the transgression of boundaries separating male from female, men from women, in a strained binary system. As threatening evidence that sex is not the natural basis upon which oppositional gender roles are built, the inter- sexed are made to disappear into normative categories...........Read more

The title of this collection pays homage to two youthful pronouncements by John Milton. In “Prolusion 3,”“Against Scholastic Philosophy,” the Cambridge student addresses his “collegiate audience.” After a scathing attack against “the so-called subtle doctors,” Milton exhorts his listeners: “But your mind should not consent to be limited and circumscribed by the earth’s boundaries, but should range beyond the confines of the world.” In another academic piece, “At a Vacation Exercise in the College,” Milton acknowledges his preference for “some graver subject” that also appears prophetic in terms of his mature poetic...........Read more

Painting and the Turn to Cultural Modernity in Spain |

Cultural modernity has habitually been defined as a focus on the means of representation themselves, as opposed to art that imitates external reality or expresses its maker's inner life. The crucial moment is usually considered the emergence of Edouard Manet in mid-nineteenth-century France, and the features of French developments have been seen as defining terms in the theory of modernity. However, recent art and cultural history have often spoken of plural modernities, distinct from the pattern set in France. For the first time, this study in cultural history explores how Spanish culture took a radical turn toward the medium of representation itself...............Read more

Understanding why culture becomes an integral part of economic and political activities remains a central puzzle in social sciences. Economic and Political Integration in Immigrant Neighborhoods analyzes different patterns of community organization, develops a theoretical explanation for the contrasting patterns, and empirically addresses when and how social bonds are a source of economic success and political integration. The substantive focus of this book is immigrant communities and how they organize politically and economically...........Read more

Susquehanna University’s history from 1858-2000 has occurred in three states, each expressing a different mission. The school was funded in 1858 as the Missionary Institute of the Evangelical Lutheran Church to fulfill the vision of the Rev. Benjamin Kurtz, a Lutheran cleric and editor of the Lutheran Observer. He was a partisan of the American Lutheran viewpoint caught up in a fratricidal battle with Lutheran orthodoxy. The Missionary Institute sustained his viewpoint in the preparation ..........

Contemporary theorists from Gilles Deleuze to Rochard Rorty have raised a radical question: on what grounds can we claim that any "representation"- whether scientific, aesthetic, or political – adequately stands for its objects, authorizing some of us to speak for others? While some hail this contestation as liberatory, others object that it leaves us bereft of viable practical alternatives, issuing in a general .......... Read more |

These essays challenge received wisdoms about the English Renaissance. Like the work of the scholar to whom the volume is presented, they touch on critical theory, formalist literary criticism, intellectual history, gender studies, and archival research. The first section, “England at the Margins,” investigates the island nation’s precarious global status in the early modern period ad some of the ways in which the commercial theater worked to negotiate England’s sense of its place in the world. The second section, “Researching the Renaissance,” turns to the domestic scene with a particular emphasis .......... Read more |

Fairies, unruly women, and vestigial Catholicism constituted a frequently invoked triad in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century drama which has seldom been critically examined and therefore constitutes a significant lacuna in scholarly treatments of early modern theater, including the work of Shakespeare. Fairy tradition has lost out in scholarly critical convention to the more masculine mythologies of Christianity and classical Greece and Rome, in which female deities either serve masculine gods or are themselves masculinized (i.e., Diana ..........

The Torn Book: UnReading William Blake’s Marginalia argues for the connection between British poet and painter William Blake’s marginalia (the annotations he made in the volumes he owned and borrowed) and the role that often multivalent symbols like pens, writers, readers, and books play throughout his art.
The Torn Book pays particular attention to original Blake, items, including the various annotated volumes housed at the Huntington Library, Houghton Library, Cambridge’s University Library and Wren Library, Dr. Williams’s Library, and the British Library, among others.. .......... Read more |

The recently built Blackfriars Playhouse in Staunton, VA, has renewed interest among Shakespeareans and theater historians alike in the playhouse to which Shakespeare’s company moved late in his career. Inside Shakespeare: Essays on the Blackfriars Stage represents the first scholarly collection to address questions peculiar to the Blackfriars and indoor playing: Did the Blackfriars have its won repertory? What was the place of the Blackfriars in the urban economy? What qualities did the Blackfriears share with the long tradition of great-hall performances? Featuring essays by Andrew Gurr, Tiffany Stern, Stephen Booth, Roslyn Knutson, A. R. Braunmuller.. .......... Read more |

Modernism, Metaphysics, and Sexuality |

The early twentieth century inherited from its Victorian predecessors a series of Copernican jolts, which in redefining conceptions of time, space, theology, and linguistics, reshaped notions of subjectivity-and the discourse of philosophy itself. Literary modernism, in effect, has been haunted by these vestiges, by these fragments of knowledge and subjectivity cast among ruins. Ian Watt mourned this loss of certainty as the demise of God and the loss of the omniscient author, while Nietzche cheered it as a long-overdue deauthorization of his precursors. ..........
