Vitkus's book demonstrates that the English encounter with exotic alterity, and the theatrical representations inspired by that encounter, helped to form the emergent identity of an English nation that was eagerly fantasizing about having an empire, but was still in the preliminary phase of its colonizing drive.

Through nuanced and original readings of Shakespeare, Herbert, Donne, Milton, Traherne, and Bunyan, David Hawkes sheds light on the antitheatrical controversy, and early modern debates over idolatry and value and trade.
Shakespeare Among the Animals
Nature and Society in the Drama of Early Modern England

This title examines the role of animal metaphor in the Shakespeare stage, particularly as such metaphor serves to underwrite various forms of social difference. Working through texts such as Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream", Jonson's "Volpone", and Middleton's "A Chaste Maid in Cheapside", different chapters of the study focus upon the allegedly natural character of femininity, masculinity, and ethnicity, while a fourth chapter considers the nature of the natural world itself as it appears on the Renaissance stage. Addressing each of these topics in turn, this volume explores the notions of cultural order that underlie early modern conceptions of the natural world, and the ideas of nature implicit in early modern social practice.

Cultural Exchanges in Early Modern London explores the connections between early modern London and the world beyond the metropolis. The forces that gave London its cultural dynamism were not unique to the metropolis, but their interaction in the specific context of England's premier city had powerful consequences in several social spheres. This book surveys several of these spheres in a series of chapter-length, topical analyses, each of which addresses explicitly the recent approaches of historians and literary critics, encouraging practitioners in each discipline to engage with those of the other in a more fruitful manner than has been the case thus far.
Shakespeare and the Question of Culture

The last two decades have witnessed a profound change in the way we receive the literary texts of early modern England. One could call this a move from 'text' to 'culture'. Put briefly, earlier critics tended to focus on literary texts, strictly conceived: plays, poems, prose fictions, essays. Since the mid 1980s, however, it has been just as likely for critics to speak of the 'culture' of early modern England, even when they do so in conjunction with analysis of literary texts. This 'cultural turn' has clearly enriched the way in which we read the texts of early modern England, but the interdisciplinary practices involved have frequently led critics to make claims about materials and about the 'culture' these materials appear to embody that exceed those materials' representativeness. "Shakespeare and the Question of Culture" addresses the central issue of 'culture' in early modern studies through both literary history and disciplinary critique.Douglas Bruster argues that the 'culture' literary critiques investigate through the works of Shakespeare and other writers is largely a literary culture, and he examines what this necessary limitation of the scope of 'cultural studies' means for the discipline of early modern studies.

"Turning Turk" looks at contact between the English and other cultures in the early modern Mediterranean and analyses the representation of that experience on the London stage. Daniel Vitkus demonstrates that the English encounter with exotic alterity, and the theatrical representations inspired by that encounter, helped to form the emergent identity of an English nation that was eagerly fantasizing about having an empire but was still in the preliminary phase of its colonizing drive. Vitkus's research shows how plays about the multicultural Mediterranean participated in this process of identity formation and how anxieties about religious conversion, foreign trade and miscegenation were crucial factors in the formation of that identity .

This volume explores the construction of gender ideology in early modern England through an analysis of the "querelle des femmes" - the debate about the relationship between the sexes that originated on the continent during the middle ages and the Renaissance and developed in England into the Swetnam controversy, which revolved around the publication of Joseph Swetnam's "The Arraignment of Lewd, Forward, and Inconstant Women" and the pamphlets which responded to its misogynist attacks. The volume contextualizes the debate in terms of its continental antecedents and elite manuscript circulation in England and then moves to consider popular culture and printed texts from the Jacobean debate and its effects on women's writing and the developing discourse on gender. It concludes with an examination of the ramifications of the debate during the Civil War and Restoration. The essays included here focus attention on the implications of the gender debate for women writers and their literary relations, cultural ideology and the family, and political discourse and ideas of nationhood.

Bringing together the fields of material culture and militarism, Susan Harlan argues that the notion of “spoiling” – or the sanctioned theft of the arms and armor of the vanquished in battle – provides a way of thinking about England’s relationship to its violent cultural inheritance.
