John Donne's Pulpit Voice
Three sermons delivered at old St. Paul's Cathedral reveal John Donne's extraordinary skill as a preacher. Insufficient attention has been paid to Donne's physical voice as he attempted to reveal the Word of God in the cathedral, while efforts to depict Donne as a performer have obscured Donne's self-presentation as a contrite sinner who fully shares the sinful nature of his auditors. In his Christmas sermon in 1621, Donne positions himself as a …

The Elizabeth Icon
Mammon's Music
This book explores what the commercial revolution of the seventeenth century meant to the greatest poet of the era, John Milton, and the broader literary tradition in which he worked.

Brand (review)
Henrik Ibsen's Brand, the willfully self-absorbed Christian visionary and self-appointed Lutheran enforcer, has a good deal to say to a modern audience. Ibsen's youthful playwas a shrewd choice for a new production by the Royal Shakespeare Company. At a time when world political leaders are willing to engage in idealistic regime changes with apparent indifference to their consequences, Ibsen's anti-Faust—a man who pursues a painfully limited visi…

The New Oxford Book of Sixteenth Century Verse
The sixteenth century has long been acknowledged the 'Golden Age' of English verse - with such names as Shakespeare, Donne, and Spenser to its credit it could hardly be otherwise. Yet this anthology, which includes both undisputed masterpieces and achievements in hitherto neglected fields, is the first to reveal the full range and diversity of the century's poetic riches. What emerges is the most complete picture available of the poetic vitality …

The Body Embarrassed
Men and women in early modern Europe experienced their bodies very differently from the ways in which contemporary men and women do. In this challenging and innovative book, Gail Kern Paster examines representations of the body in Elizabethan-Jacobean drama in the light of humoral medical theory, tracing the connections between the history of the visible social body and the history of the subject's body as experienced from within. Focusing on spe…
