Shakespeare and the Soliloquy in Early Modern English Drama
The Donna Angelica in Disraeli’s The Young Duke
Medieval and early modern European literatures of courtly love often idealize a female object of desire as a donna angelica, or angelic lady. Notable examples include Dante’s Beatrice (in his La Vi
Refiguring the Donna Angelica and Rewriting Petrarch in Shakespeare’s Sonnets
Especially in one respect throughout his sonnets, Shakespeare’s speaker imagines the Petrarchan discourse of love anew: by refiguring the topos of the donna angelica. In some of the initial 126 sonnets he portrays an aristocratic, transgendered male version of the donna angelica who precariously embodies grace, and whom we therefore discern to have an ambiguous relationship with the concept, at once moral and aesthetic, of “grace” deployed for ex…
The Mythology and Theology of Love in Spenser’s Amoretti
Edmund Spenser depicts his courtship, in his sonnet sequence Amoretti, by means of an immanent mythological and mythographic patterning more elaborate and specific than has been hitherto acknowledged. Through this patterning, Spenser suggests that his courtship does not merely evoke but necessitates metamorphosis, in both the beloved who represents Elizabeth Boyle, his intended, and the lover who represents himself. As the title of his sequence i…

Marvell's Religious Dialogues
Andrew Marvell's religious dialogues are often discussed separately but are not often considered together. When they are, what connects them and what differentiates them are seldom closely examined. Although they are all dialogues spoken by different participants with more or less religious concerns, what else might be said of the poems, taken as a group? Here I argue that to contextualize them in terms of the ordo salutis, the idea of home, and …
The replication and critique of libertinism in A ndrew M arvell's ‘ T o H is C oy M istress’
Marvell's ‘To His Coy Mistress’ both iterates and interrogates the discourse of sexual libertinism. His poem presents a double picture of libertine verse and the version of Epicurean philosophy informing it. That picture problematically sets topoi from the literature of sexual libertinism against Christian orthodoxy, refusing to portray their opposition in terms of unqualified polarities. At the last, Marvell leaves his readers to choose between …
Educated in Masculine Habits”
Representing Women and Resistance to Tyrannyin More’s Historia Richardi Tertii
In this article, the author explores the role of women in More's Richard III, identifying the various stereotypical elements to be found in the attitudes and characterisation of the work. The individual strengths of the roles of women in the work are uncovered, particularly in their relationship to the tyrannical context in which they sought to assert values of compassion and truth. Giving specific focus to Queen Elizabeth, wife of Edward IV, and…
Humanism, Female Education, and Myth
Humanism, Female Education, and Myth:Erasmus, Vives, and More's To Candidus A. D. Cousins When considering pleasure and chance as aspects of human experience, Thomas More sometimes gendered them female; that is to say, at times he represented them by drawing from the mythographies of Venus and of Fortune. But what did he suggest that actual women, as distinct from goddesses, were or should be or might become: what were his notions of being a woma…
Augustine, Boethius and the Fortune Verses of Thomas More
William J. Bouwsma influentially argued, in 1975, that “[t]he two ideological poles between which Renaissance humanism oscillated may be roughly labelled ‘Stoicism’ and ‘Augustinianism.’” He suggested that white individual humanists might, at different times, favour some version of one over some version of the other, their intellectual allegiances were nonetheless fundamentally divided between the two. An unacknowledged possibility in Bouwsma’s e…
