Dispossessed and Unaccommodated
In this chapter, we analyse the torture scene in King Lear, arguing that metaphors of animality and enslavement attach to Cornwall’s unnamed servant in order to mitigate his attempts to intervene and stop the violence. Though a minor character, the servant’s fate reveals a wider map of power than the play is invested in representing. Furthermore, the insults hurled at him by Regan and Cornwall symbolically link animals with enslaved people and bo…

Renaissance Gorillas
Although Renaissance naturalists inherited a wealth of information about simians from classical and medieval sources, gorillas are oblique within these histories. The Renaissance, however, looms large within scientific histories of gorillas; two accounts specifically were cited extensively in nineteenth-century scientific treatises about the origins of the species. The first source, Hanno of Carthage's Periplus, reports of a fifth-century BCE nav…

Introduction:Bodies/Objects/Agents Holly Dugan (bio) and Melissa J. Jones (bio) We began brainstorming for this special issue in June 2016, when the threat of Donald Trump's election as president was looming but was not yet a certainty. We recognized the structures of white nationalism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism that buoyed his campaign, and we wanted to think critically about them, especially about their intersections with t…
Thinking Sex with the Early Moderns
It is good to think with Valerie Traub. It is also good to think with early moderns, particularly about a topic as opaque (both historically and conceptually) as sex. As Traub astutely notes in this meticulously researched and thoughtfully arranged book, sex is rarely one thing, which makes it incredibly difficult to articulate its meanings in the past. Such variance, however, makes the process of "thinking sex" such a richly interpretive endeavo…

Shakespeare and the Senses
This article examines recent critical approaches to Shakespeare and the senses. Historicizing the senses has posed certain methodological challenges: what is the relationship between subjective sensory perceptions and broader cultural understandings of sensation? Does the sensate have a history? Recent work on each of the five senses demonstrates that the answer is yes. And, surprisingly, Shakespeare and his literary works are at the center of th…
Scent of a Woman
Olfaction has not figured largely in scholarly or popular understanding of early English stages; as stage properties, scents have rarely impacted the critical work on late medieval or early modern material histories of the stage, no doubt due to the assumption that olfaction lacks both a history and an archive. Nonetheless, for late medieval and early modern men and women, olfaction was a key component of theatrical experience. Three examples of …
