▼ In sacramental confession, writes Michel Foucault in "The History of Sexuality", “one confesses, or one is forced to confess. When it is not spontaneous or dictated by some internal imperative, the confession is wrung from a person by violence or threat” (27-28). What happens when confessions are not verbal, but physical? This dissertation studies takes the position that involuntary confessions of the flesh, which can be defined as signs of the exterior that slip out, unbidden, onto the surface of the body, permeate all major discourses and ultimately inform the nascent development of the self. Chapter One begins with the writings of St. Augustine and Martin Luther on original sin and on the sacrament of confession. According to Luther, the corruption of the will following original sin ensures the permanent disobedience of the flesh; there is nothing one can do to control the spontaneous movements of the postlapsarian body. Involuntary confessions of the flesh demonstrate the volatile relationship between confession and flesh. Chapter Two shows the parallels between sacramental and involuntary confessions of the flesh in Marguerite de Navarre’s "Heptaméron". It examines four novellas in light of Foucault’s model of power and knowledge. Each novella spotlights an example in which an involuntary confession of the flesh can, if used carefully, be transformed into self-knowledge. Chapter Three argues that the tension between the impetus to confess and the courtly imperative of dissimulation in Madame de Lafayette’s "Princess of Clèves" results in a self torn between two competing codes. Involuntary confessions of the flesh cut through both of these discourses to reveal the self at a moment when it is in the verge of becoming more interior. The final chapter examines religious, medical, and autobiographical accounts of demonic possession, arguing that the stability of the subject during the experience of possession must always be called into question. Though each account highlights empty confession at the hands of a body that produces too many parts to make up one whole, possession triggers a spectacle that nonetheless creates a readable residue of the early modern self.

▼ This dissertation analyzes the relationship between fathers and daughters in seventeenth-century Spanish theater. While scholarship has examined female characters in their role as daughters in individual works, this study represents the first treatment of this social identity across the genre. Claude Lévi-Strauss’s theories of kinship cite the father-daughter relationship as the primary locus of exogamy, the practice of inter-group marriage that purportedly forms the foundation of culture. The diverse sociocultural correlates of this particular filial relationship explain its continued presence in Western literature as a vehicle through which writers have explored the nature and limits of patriarchy and social convention. The ability of the father-daughter plot to dramatize and comment on the individual’s relationship to society was significant in the comedia given the wide reach of the Spanish crown’s reactions to changes in European socioeconomic organization and religious thought. This dissertation elucidates how playwrights engaged the private-public dimensions of the father-daughter relationship to comment on the major political, economic, legal, and religious issues of the period in a number of contexts, including peasant honor drama, palace privanza plays, and theological drama. Contrasting paternal reactions to a daughter’s dishonor in Luis Vélez de Guevara’s La serrana de la Vera (1613) and Pedro Calderón de la Barca’s El alcalde de Zalamea (1640) lead to larger discussions of hierarchy, gender expectations, and the administration of law and justice. The question of rule by privanza lies at the heart of Francisco Rojas Zorrilla’s Casarse por vengarse (1636) and Calderón’s La vida es sueño (1635), plays that comment on the empire’s economic crises and the limits of monarchy, respectively, through their depictions of family conflict. Finally, divergent depictions of daughters in El esclavo del demonio (1612) reveal Antonio Mira de Amescua’s position on the grace and free will debate, while Tirso de Molina’s La Santa Juana (1613) and Lope de Vega’s La bienaventurada madre Santa Teresa de Jesús (1614) shed light on contemporary views of female monasticism and women saints.

▼ In the aftermath of the Dutch Revolt, the revitalization and strengthening of Catholicism in the Spanish Low Countries was physically manifested in the hundreds of new, sumptuously decorated churches that sprang up across the region. Some of the grandest of these structures were found at the Court Beguinages, religious institutions where single laywomen, called Beguines, lived together in order to pursue a spiritual life but did not adopt religious enclosure. Despite tensions caused by their liminal status, the Beguines established a symbiotic relationship with the Tridentine Church in which they helped to implement Counter-Reformation reforms and in return gained the support of the ecclesiastical hierarchy. In part because they rejected the monastic vow of poverty, the Beguinages drew vast numbers of Low Countries women, who in turn pooled their resources to become leading patrons of architecture and the fine arts.This dissertation examines the visual culture of the Court Beguinages from around 1585, the year in which Catholic control was reestablished in the South Low Countries, and 1713, when Spain ceded the territory to Austria. Drawing on archival sources, secondary literature, and extant artworks and buildings, I develop a model for analyzing the Beguines' use of visual forms to shape their individual and corporate identities. My work is divided into five chapters; the first addresses the history of the Court Beguinages as institutions and discusses the historiographical issues at stake in their study. In the second chapter I situate the Beguines within current scholarship on women in early modern Europe, and I then turn to the creation of a new, cohesive 'public image' for the Beguines during this period, which was achieved through the development of new iconographies and the dissemination of printed texts and images. The fourth chapter analyzes the architecture of the Beguinages, and in the fifth I look at how the painted altarpieces installed in their churches helped the Beguines claim a place for themselves in the early modern spiritual economies of Low Countries cities.

▼ Talk to Me: An Apology for Poetry, explores the intersection between readers and writers of poetry in the past and the present, the idea of the teaching poet, and poetry’s more formal defenses as articulates the twenty-first century poet’s responsibility. The poems are informed by the critical introduction’s examination of Philip Sidney and Percy Shelley’s formally titled defenses of poetry alongside Milton, Wordsworth, and Whitman’s defense-prefaces as well as many individual poems participating in what I call the defense tradition: a tradition predicated on trans-historical reading practices turned writing practices; a tradition assuming poetry begets poets who beget poetry because the art is based in teaching through dialogue. The further I move into the world of English letters, the more I sense the discord (voiced or not) between those identifying as “creative writers” and “scholars.” Such discord suggests poets have stopped communing with poetry in the defense tradition, understand poetry’s defenses as historical documents, and take poetry’s cultural and educational place for granted. Such discord is indicative of the crisis I sense in poetic and educational practices reinforcing the conception of poetry as an isolated activity, which has allowed poets the possibility to disregard the reader’s place in the act of poetic making and, risky as it is to suggest, the role of craft in the poet’s act of making. I suggest, in response to such discord, that teaching writers to read and readers to write is the responsibility inherent in both poetry and the poet’s vocation. My aim is to re-open the poetic past in the contemporary moment so I am not just reading in the past, but communing with poetry’s past as a present: a practice I offer as a response to my perception that contemporary poetry is relatively defense-less. Engaging poetry trans-historically, however, highlights the teacher/writer duality so often assumed by Early Modern writers and helps defend poetry’s existence in the twenty-first century. Talk to Me relies on the dialogic nature of critical inquiry and creative making to apply the Early Modern assumptions that poetry’s ultimate end is to teach and delight.

▼ Unruly Lines argues that writers in early modern England use the figure of the line as a tool in developing new modes of representation, and that their written lines are an index for political, aesthetic, and epistemological issues surfacing in the period. Asserting that textual materiality and the technical practices of playing were crucial to the development of literary form, this dissertation proposes that the poetic line and the line of dialogue find literary art reflecting broad early-modern cultural assumptions. By looking beyond literature to discourses as varied as the visual arts, mathematics, architecture, and law, the project offers a variety of different ways to see the written line anew. Examining moments wherein lines introduce ways of meaning distinct from verbal semantics, this project claims that early modern writers began perceiving in the written line a means to challenge and disrupt habituated strategies for apprehension. Evenly divided into sections on poetry and drama, this project proposes that the inventiveness and self-reflexivity for which the early modern period's literature is known stem from the line's ability to challenge ordered systems of representation-to contest the presumed "rules" of art. The first two chapters, which consider poetry by King James, John Donne, and William Shakespeare, argue that the shape and structure of verse lines mark poetry as a specialized mode of discourse capable of figuring forth ideas unattainable in other media. Visually ragged, uneven, or blatantly artful and ornamental lines, I argue, start to diagrammatically supplement and juxtapose vivid verbal images. The second half of the project then considers how players use lines of dialogue, and focuses on works by John Lyly, George Peele, and Shakespeare. These chapters explain how lines drawn into individual actors' parts (indicating their cues) function as technical devices for building-and breaking up and challenging-the limits of theatrical space. As each chapter demonstrates, poets and playwrights take advantage of the verbal line's inability to offer only semantic meaning by cultivating self-consciously disruptive and unruly representations. These texts take into account the experiences of readers and audiences, and strive to actively build, rather than simply report, knowledge.

▼ This dissertation examines the strategies developed by three interconnected transatlantic literary figures to approach the new context of power relations, in the Iberian Peninsula, and how their literary production reflects these strategies. I study specifically the works of the chronicler Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, and playwrights Juan Ruiz de Alarcón and Tirso de Molina. I propose to focus on their strategies to navigate the agitated waters of the Spanish court, and to interact with the members of the illustrious peninsular circles. Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, the son of a Castilian conquistador named Sebastián Garcilaso de la Vega and of an Inca princess named Chimpu Ocllo, represents the figure of the mestizo. Juan Ruiz de Alarcón, born in Mexico to a family that exploited mines, personifies the figure of the criollo. Tirso de Molina, pseudonym of the friar of the order of Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy Gabriel Tellez, embodies the figure of the Spaniard who returned from the New World. Each of these figures is associated with a distinct region of the vast Spanish empire: the Inca Garcilaso comes from the viceroyalty of Peru, while Juan Ruiz de Alarcón was born in New Spain, and friar Gabriel Téllez visited the island of La Española between 1616 and 1618, before coming back to the Peninsula. Through this study, the atlantic space is conceived as a means of communication that connects everything. Through it, the European kingdoms and ! their colonies on both sides become intertwined in a network of connexions. The traffic of the routes crossing the Atlantic Ocean thus forges a subjectivity, the identity of which is dependant on this circuit. Born from this traffic, the subject who comes and goes is named the transatlantic subject. A witness of the modes of structuration of social relationships both in the metropolis of the Empire and in the colonies themselves, the transatlantic subject will determine their transformation. The historical period this study covers begins with the year of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega's birth, 1539, only seven years after the first encounter between Francisco Pizarro and the Inca Emperor Atahualpa in Cajamarca, in 1532. It ends with the death of playwright Tirso de Molina in 1648. Spreading across a century, it also encompasses the reign of four Spanish monarchs: Charles V, Philip II, Philip III and Philip IV. During this period, the figure of the indiano was affected by the growing dependence of the Iberian Peninsula on the transatlantic traffic and commerce with the colonies. During the reign of Philip II, the expansion of the administrative apparatus of the state, which extended its tentacles into the transatlantic trade in order to take advantages of its newly conquered territory, reached its climax. During the reign of his successor, Philip III, and of his favorite the duke of Lerma, the social advance experienced by the officials of the state, who begin to conceive of their administrative mandate as a material possession that might be acquired by money, animates other classes to find… Advisors/Committee Members: Garces,Maria Antonia (chair), Lorenz,Philip A (committee member), Pinet,Simone (committee member).

▼ In L'envoy de Chaucer a Scogan, Chaucer, evidently an old man, playfully announces the end of his writing career, declaring that his muse rusts in its sheath and claiming that age stops narration, symbolized by the rust and disuse of Chaucer's "muse." Yet describing in elegant verse this muse's senescence actually reinforces the idea that this old, textualized Chaucer never stops writing, and that age supplies the real subject of the envoy. The posture of an aged writer or speaker composing his end is far from unique in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and indeed defines a set of key elements of literature in that period. My dissertation, "Rewriting Old Age from Chaucer to Shakespeare: The Invention of English Senex Style," explores the connection between literary and material form as it traces the paradoxical treatment of old men from the Reeve in The Canterbury Tales to John Gower's reanimated role in Shakespeare's Pericles. Incorporating fifteenth century authors, such as Thomas Hoccleve, and scribes and printers, such as John Shirley and William Caxton, together with Chaucer, and Gower, my dissertation argues that what I call senex style connects these images of old men from Chaucer to Shakespeare through a study of rhetorical postures, employing style in a capacious fashion. By focusing on a set of elements, which although shared are deployed differently, I contend that authors and speakers employ in new ways a paradoxical set of characteristics in depictions of old men taken from classical literature. As a reflection of a historical relationship between impairment and ability, senex style served as a response to a period of history which witnessed media changes from script to print. By attending both to the limitations of patrilinear literary history and the construction of time and history through the images of broken bodies, and, poised as an intervention between early English and disability studies, this examination of senex style demonstrates how the figure of the old man bridges categories of language and body, by examining non-normative and less-thanable selves that are defined not only by bodily impairments but also rhetorical postures of disability and prosthesis.

▼ This thesis investigates the twenty-six manuscripts which survive in the hand of the scribe Ralph Crane (1565?-1632?), and the manuscript culture in which he wrote and circulated these copies. It introduces six previously unknown Crane manuscripts, and fully evaluates Crane's scribal work as a whole for the first time. Chapter One considers the place of manuscript copies in early modern England. It introduces Crane as one of the figures responsible for the production of these copies, and details what is known of his life and career. Chapter Two situates Crane's work alongside that of other scribes, using the manuscript circulation of Sir Henry Mainwaring's early 1620s naval dictionary 'Parts and Things belonging to a Ship' as a case-study. Chapter Three looks at Crane's eight dramatic manuscripts, and argues that the presentational habits for which Crane is known were consciously adopted in order to turn dramatic texts into private, literary, presentation manuscripts. Chapter Four introduces two new Crane manuscripts, both of which contain early copies of Francis Bacon's correspondence. It considers how these Bacon manuscripts fit into the rest of Crane's scribal corpus, and how they capture an early moment in the construction of the statesman's literary legacy. Chapter Five examines Crane's manuscript poetry collections, and the other scribal circles in which these poems can be found. It finds that professional scribes, though operating separately, employed similar strategies. Finally, this thesis concludes by examining how all these copies can help to illuminate a recently discovered manuscript that otherwise gives little away. Crane's manuscripts show that he was an active textual agent: his activity arose from a responsive engagement with his texts, a consideration of their use, and a desire to produce professional and valuable volumes. His manuscripts are important witnesses to the role of the professional scribe and the manuscript circulation of literature in early modern England.

▼ In my dissertation I examine how John Locke’s conceptions of “substance” and “mode” inform his theory of personal identity. My goal is to get a better understanding of what Locke’s picture of persons looks like, and where Locke lies within the larger debate over personal identity. I start with the persistence conditions Locke gives for persons. In Book II, Ch. XXVII of An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, Locke famously claims that sameness of substance is neither necessary nor sufficient for the identity of a person over time. Many commentators have contended that there is a tension between this claim and Locke’s definition of “person.” They argue that the latter makes it look like persons are substances, but the former makes it look like this can’t be the case. This has caused some commentators to argue that Locke thinks persons are modes. This has caused others to claim that Locke thinks persons are substances, but Locke means something different by “substance” when he gives the persistence conditions for persons than when he deems an entity a substance. Although substance readings of Locke on persons were quite popular for some time, mode readings have gained considerable traction as of late. I argue that we must get a firm grasp on what Locke means by “substance” and “mode” to come to a conclusion on the matter. After giving a thorough treatment of Locke on substance and mode, I swim against the current tide in the secondary literature and argue that there is compelling evidence that Locke thinks persons are substances. This becomes clear if we examine Locke’s definition of “person” in light of what Locke says about substance, power and agency in other parts of the Essay. Moreover, I argue that when we place Locke’s claims about sameness of substance in their proper context and see what he means by them, it becomes clear that there is no tension between Locke’s definition of “person” and the persistence conditions Locke gives for persons. Most importantly, we don’t have to attribute to Locke a conception of “substance” he doesn’t have in order to get this result. This is not to say that I think Locke’s picture of persons is without problems. It’s just that a tension between Locke’s definition of “person” and the persistence conditions Locke gives for persons is not one of them.

▼ AbstractDiscussions of Petrarchism in early modern English studies often focus on its influence on secular love lyrics, but Petrarch’s Canzoniere also has a religious undertone. Petrarch’s speaker in the in-vita section of Canzoniere focuses on the image of Laura, where he fluctuates between committing to God and committing to the image of Laura. After Laura’s death, Petrarch’s speaker gradually goes through despair in the in-morte section of Canzoniere to learn of his mistake and eventually commit to God. John Calvin, in his Institutes of Christian Religion, points out that a supplicant never definitively knows the state of his election. This uncertainty creates within the speaker a fluctuation between the state of hope for his soul’s salvation and a state of despair at the prospect of the damnation of his soul. Calvin, in his “Sermons on Ezekiel” and in some commentaries on Psalms, points out that God often induces a state of despair within his elects to draw them closer to Him. This dissertation identifies this state of fluctuation between two positions and the necessity of despair as two tropes that Calvinism and Petrarchism share.This dissertation also studies how early modern English poets Anne Lok, Sir Philip Sidney, and John Donne can be perceived simultaneously as Calvinists and Petrarchans. Although Lok’s “Meditations of a Penitent Sinner” apparently appears to have nothing in common with Petrarchism, her sonnet sequence is Petrarchan in nature because it displays the necessity of despair before one commits to God, as well as the fluctuating supplicant. In addition, Donne’s “La Corona” uses the poetic form of rosary poems, which was primarily associated with Roman Catholicism, to display his speaker’s commitment to the reformed doctrines. Furthermore, Sidney’s An Apology for Poetry fails in his endeavor to adapt the poetics that he inherited from medieval Roman Catholic Europe to display the undertones of Calvinist doctrines. Nevertheless, he argues that a poet should inspire virtue among his readers through his poetry. If Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella is read according to this directive, then the only reading of Astrophil and Stella that makes sense is to read Astrophil as a reprobate. Donne’s speaker in his “Holy Sonnets” is both Petrarchan and Calvinist because the speaker fluctuates between the positions of hope and dejection in his spiritual journey and must experience despair to eventually commit to God.

▼ The Early-Modernization of the Classical Muse juxtaposes ancient and Renaissance uses of the Muse to retrieve her from the status of mere literary convention. I draw on Hans Blumenbergs 'reoccupation' (Umbesetzung) thesis, which locates in philosophy concerns originally raised in myth, to argue that the poet's relationship with his Muse, as the perceived source of his art form, was always somehow ontological (ontology: the theory of human being). In the pre-literate, pre-philosophical invocations of archaic figures like Homer and Hesiod, I locate the 'ontological stirrings' in which the poet identifies his self through his at times troublesome and combative dependence on the Muse. By early modernity, a philosophical era, the classical Muse's appearances figure radical and imminently modern shifts in a still-persistent essentialist ontology. Here poets assert a re-orientation to the human person, a new ontology centered not on humanity's quondam dependence on nature, the deified genetrix overseeing all sublunary production (including poetry), but on an independent human production, so that techne, or art, becomes not only the prime factor in the recognition of human being but also the vehicle for its re-orientation. A chief contribution of this dissertation is its identification of an ontological poetics. Impossible outside of poetic language, this poetics employs inversions of conceit and discontinuous rhetorical structures to raze the vertical scales that placed causes (like nature or the Muse) over their effects (the poet and poetry). Ontological poetics forwards instead a horizontal ontology based on lateral connections among the poet-speaker, his beloved poetic subject, and the poem itself. A critical novelty of this project is that unlike in any of Blumenberg's examples of reoccupation, these analyses must consider the return of a myth within the era of philosophy. Because the appearances of the Muse in early modern poetry embody the basic ontological issues that the era of philosophy originally inherited from her, her early modern situation acts as an acid test for Blumenberg's thesis.'

▼ In the vestry of the cathedral church of Santa Maria in Toledo hangs a large painting by El Greco entitled El Espolio, the ‘Disrobing of Christ’. Executed shortly after his arrival in Spain the painting marks a major stylistic departure from the artist’s earlier work and would command attention on that basis alone. The subject, while iconographically obscure, is, at another remove, utterly familiar as a Passion scene tied to a well known iconographical canon. Compositionally, the Christ figure predominates but the ‘legionnaire’ occupies a contrasting and almost equivalent space in his carapace of steel. These figures beg for further elaboration I will argue that this painting can be read as a nexus between a reformed liturgy and a post-Tridentine programme of Church renewal in Spain allied to a monarchical programme of nación under Philip II (1527-98) that was essentially one and the same. The salient questions needing a response are these: How, in a vestry, can we expect such a subject to have much impact beyond the very limited audience it was designed for? This is the crux of the matter in many ways. What in the painting suggests more than the straightforward analysis of the subject matter? What in the times suggests another reading of this great work of art? The pursuit of the answers to these questions constitutes the driving force behind this investigation. Biography, the intellectual and artistic formation of the artist, are positioned with reference to the intellectual ferment of the period, the religious upheaval iii in Christendom, the advances in the understanding of the nation state. More specifically, the altered relationship between the monarchy and the church in Spain, following the Council of Trent (1545-63)will be shown to have a reflection in El Espolio. El Greco’s work has mostly been treated as the product of a painter of the spirit, of religiosity, even of mysticism. El Espolio has been interpreted here within a broader frame of reference and the argument suggests our understanding of El Greco’s oeuvre has been somewhat narrow.

▼

The following study illuminates a set of failed responses to social and political problems sedimented, personified, and explored through the “malcontent,” a politically charged word borrowed from French politics that became a key social and literary type in early modern England. Much prior criticism has approached typology as a set of static signs to be catalogued; instead, this study traces the role of the malcontent in an evolving inquiry in England at the turn of the seventeenth century into questions of injustice, participatory politics, tyranny, and political stability. The end of the Elizabethan and beginning of the Jacobean eras was a time of great fear and anxiety, forging these questions of abstract political philosophy into matters of immediate, pressing concern. Attending to the historical and literary contexts of exemplary malcontents (both historical persons and literary figures), the study demonstrates that far from being a static figure, the malcontent was a flexible hermeneutic for syncretically fusing multiple discourses: much as Drew Daniel has described “melancholy” as a Deleuzian “assemblage,” the politicized malcontent subset of melancholics acts almost as a rubics cube for early modern thinkers to examine the confluences and consequences of shifting arrangements of ideas. Because these early modern writers deployed poetry and theater as methodologies of political philosophy, this study, too, requires an analytical hermeneutic which views literature and politics as coextensive or co-constitutive, while at the same time reserving the paradoxical possibility that they might also be mutually exclusive. Therefore, the study adopts the frameworks of two philosophers, Nietzsche and Aristotle, who extensively considered the intersection of literature and political philosophy; using the parameters of these competing philosophical frameworks, this study develops interpretations of malcontent literary experiments from Philip Sidney to William Shakespeare that are in conversation with the history of Western political thought while remaining acutely attentive to their historical specificity. The purpose of this study is thus twofold: I seek to develop a deeper and more nuanced account of some of the most pessimistic literary thought of the early modern period, what we might view as a “negative politics”; and in so doing, I hope to provide the reader with reflections of our own moment of political polarization and anxiety, as well as challenges to some of our most cherished political assumptions, many of which emerged from the more optimistic writing of this period.

▼ Within Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s artistic output exists three paintings in which ugliness is a common theme; ‘The Fall of the Rebel Angels’ (1562), ‘Mad Meg’ (c.1562) and ‘The Triumph of Death’ (c.1562). Other than their identical dimensions and creation during a similar time period, we know very little about the nature of conception of these works. Occasional suggestions have been that they should be understood as a thematic collection due to such similar formal correspondences. Anna Pawlak’s 2008 study ‘Triologie Der Gottessuche’ has been the first to explore this argument at an iconographic level. Pawlak proposes that the paintings should be understood as a collective unit not only due to their formal similarities, but for their identical exploration of the theme of vice and moral guiding of the viewer towards a more virtuous existence. This thesis will bolster Pawlak’s hypothesis by attesting to the unified operation of the ugly body among the three paintings which enables the moralising rhetoric for which she argues. Such research is necessary considering the lack of historiographical and archival documents which could evidence this hypothesis further. The subject of ugliness is extensive and complex. For this reason, this thesis investigates a specific facet of its theory – the abject body – to enable a more focused inspection of Bruegel’s use of ugliness as a tool for moralistic rhetoric. The existence of two distinct features of the abject; the transgression of the body’s boundaries and categorical confusion of the body, will be examined within each of the three works. It will be revealed that the application of these features amongst a contemporary symbolism towards the subject of sin, creates an overriding message that to sin is to find oneself abjectly ugly. Such a message dissuades the viewer from the moral decay which incites this physical decay into ugliness. Although the painting’s specific narratives vary, this operation of ugliness as a tool for moralistic rhetoric ultimately hinges them together, thus providing an additional evidencing layer to Pawlak’s argument that they should be understood as a unified whole.

▼ This thesis is a study of Christopher Marlowe’s reception of Ovid. It provides a close examination of Marlowe’s translation of Ovid’s Amores followed by a series of analyses of Marlowe’s ongoing use of Ovid in his poetic and dramatic works. It begins by outlining the historical, theoretical and literary backgrounds to Marlowe’s translation, focusing on Tudor translation theory, Elizabethan education and other Renaissance translators of Ovid. It then engages in a close and detailed analysis of Marlowe’s translation with couplet by couplet comparisons to Ovid’s original Latin. This analysis shows both Marlowe’s departures from accepted translation practice in terms of his use of metre and provision of extra-textual material and the meticulous and nuanced way in which he renders Ovid’s words in English. Marlowe carefully recreates both Ovid’s words and style in English and in doing so develops a poetic style which continues to exercise an influence on his original works. Marlowe’s early schooling in translating Ovid can then be seen in his later works, particularly in the portrayal of desire and eroticism. The love scenes of his plays almost all betray some Ovidian presence and the amatory material in Hero and Leander is based upon Ovid’s amatory works. One of the most Ovidian aspects of Marlowe’s amatory scenes is the intertwining of desire with violence. The experience of feeling desire and of being desired come laden with the threat of violence in Marlowe’s Ovidian passages. This is further linked to a portrayal of poetry as associated with both desire and violence. Creation is depicted as arising from strife and both are important for the experience of desire and this is seen most strongly in Hero and Leander. Marlowe’s means of thinking about these three processes stems largely from Ovid. Throughout these works, Marlowe’s use of Ovid is always mediated by his own reading of Ovid’s texts. The vision of what an Ovidian amatory world, Ovidian style and Ovidian techniques or devices constitute is always Marlowe’s vision of this. He both defines himself as an Ovidian poet and defines what it is to be an Ovidian poet.

▼ In the four early modern revenge tragedies I study, Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy, William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus, Thomas Middleton’s The Revenger’s Tragedy, and John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi, the ubiquitous depictions of corporeal violence underscore the authors’ skepticism of the human tendency to infuse bodies – physical manifestations of both agency and vulnerability – with symbolism. The revengers in these plays try to avenge the death of a loved one whose disfigured body remains unburied and often continues to occupy a place on stage, but their efforts to infuse corpses with meaning instead reveal the revengers’ perverse obsession with mutilation as spectacle. In Chapter one, I show how in The Spanish Tragedy Thomas Kyd portrays the characters’ assertions of body-soul unity to be arbitrary attempts to justify self-serving motives. Although Hieronimo treats Horatio’s dead body as a signifier of his own emotions, he displays it, alongside the bodies of his enemies, as just another rotting corpse. In Chapter two, I explore how in Titus Andronicus, William Shakespeare questions the efficacy of rituals for maintaining social order by depicting how the play’s characters manipulate rituals intended to celebrate peace as opportunities to exact vengeance; Titus demands human sacrifice as not just an accompanying element, but a central motive of rituals ostensibly intended to signify commemoration. In Chapter three, I read The Revenger’s Tragedy as illustrating Thomas Middleton’s characterization of the depiction of corporeal mutilation as an overused, generic convention; the play’s revenger, Vindice, attributes multiple, constantly shifting, meanings to the rotting skull of his lover, which he uses as a murder weapon. In Chapter four I argue that in The Duchess of Malfi, John Webster destabilizes spectators’ interpretive capacities; within this play’s unconventional dramatic structure, the main characters use somatic imagery to associate bodily dismemberment with moral disintegration. Corpses, the tangible remains of once vigorous, able-bodied relatives, serve as central components of respectful commemoration or as mementos of vengeance, yet these dead, often gruesomely mutilated bodies also invite repulsion or perverse curiosity. Thus, rather than honoring the deceased, revengers objectify corpses as frightening spectacles or even use them as weapons. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Stephen B. Dobranski, Dr. James Hirsh, Dr. Paul J. Voss.

▼ This thesis reconstructs the genre of urban satirical pamphleteering. It contends that the pamphlets of Robert Greene, Thomas Nashe, Thomas Dekker, Thomas Middleton, and Barnaby Rich are stylistically and generically akin. Writing in a relatively undefined form, these pamphleteers share an interest in describing contemporary London, and employ an experimental style characterised by its satirical energy. In addition, they negotiate a series of tensions between profitability and play. In the early modern period, ‘profit’ was variously conceived as financial, moral, or rooted in public service. Pamphleteers attempted to reconcile these senses of profitability. At the same time, they produced playful works that are self-consciously mocking, that incorporate alternative perspectives, and that are generically hybrid. To varying degrees, urban satirical pamphlets can be defined in relation to the concepts of profitability and play. Chapter One introduces the concept of moral profitability through an examination of Elizabethan moralistic pamphlets. In particular, it analyses the anxious response to profitability contained in Philip Stubbes’s Anatomie of Abuses (1583). Chapter Two argues that Greene disrupted appeals to totalising profitability, and instead demonstrated the alternative potential of play. Chapter Three examines Nashe’s notoriously evasive pamphlets, contending that he embraced play in response to the potential profitlessness of pamphleteering. Chapter Four argues that although Dekker and Middleton rejected absolutist notions of profitability, their pamphlets redirect stylistic play towards compassionate social commentary. Finally, Chapter Five explores Rich’s relocation of moralistic conventions in pamphlets that are presented as both honest and mocking. Taken as a whole, this thesis re-evaluates the style and genre of urban satirical pamphleteering. It reveals that this frequently overlooked literary form was deeply invested in defining and critiquing the purpose of literature. Advisors/Committee Members: Rhodes, Neil (advisor).
