“Rude Uncivill Blood”
In his exposition on modern sexuality, Foucault famously emphasizes the uniqueness of modern cultural forms by seizing on the Renaissance as a point of contrast. This earlier era, he avers, was defined by a distinctly pre-modern episteme in being riveted not by sex but by “the blood relation.” In that period, he maintains, “the value of descent lines were predominant” and “blood constituted one of the fundamental values.”1 Foucault was right to d…

The Indistinct Human in Renaissance Literature
Argues for the necessity of a re-articulation of the differences that separated man from other forms of life. The essays in this collection argue for recognition of the persistently indistinct nature
Groveling with Earth in Kyd and Shakespeare’s Historical Tragedies
Eager to rouse her brother-in-law, John of Gaunt, to action in an opening scene of Shakespeare's Tragedy of King Richard II, the Duchess of Gloucester invokes an image that serves as a representational axis for the play. Speaking of her murdered husband, Woodstock, whose name acquires a punning force in the context of her words, she urges: One flourishing branch of his most royal root, Is cracked, and all the precious liquor spilt; Is hacked down…
Strangers in Blood
Strangers in Blood explores, in a range of early modern literature, the association between migration to foreign lands and the moral and physical degeneration of individuals. Arguing that, in early modern discourse, the concept of race was primarily linked with notions of bloodline, lineage, and genealogy rather than with skin colour and ethnicity, Jean E. Feerick establishes that the characterization of settler communities as subject to degenera…
Botanical Shakespeares
The early modern epistemic overlap between plant and person, Feerick’s article demonstrates, can expand critical work on early modern race both in and beyond Shakespearean drama. It centers upon an analysis of Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus , a play that brings plant bodies and human bodies into dizzying dramatic collision. In contrast to critics of the Enlightenment who have argued that the drive to classify plants into phyla and species helped …
