In what ways have colonial and postcolonial studies transformed our perceptions of early modern European texts and images? How have those perceptions enriched our broader understanding of the colonial and the postcolonial? Focusing on English, Portuguese, Spanish and French colonial projects, Shankar Raman explains how encounters with new worlds and peoples irrevocably shaped both Europeans and their 'others'. There are in-depth case studies on: the Portuguese drama and epic of Gil Vicente and Luis Vaz de Camões; travel narratives and exotic engravings from Theodore de Bry's influential compilations; and the English plays and verse of Christopher Marlowe, John Donne and Richard Brome.

Renaissance Papers is a collection of the best scholarly essays submitted each year to the Southeastern Renaissance Conference. The conference accepts papers on all subjects relating to the Renaissance - music, art, history, literature, etc. - from scholars all over North America and the world. Of the ten essays in the 2003 volume, three have to do with Shakespeare; among the topics here are Shakespeare and social uprising in 'The Merchant of Venice', politics and masculinity in 'Julius Caesar', and the churching of women in 'Taming of the Shrew'; another essay on Renaissance drama focuses attention on Elizabeth Cary's 'Mariam.' Other essays consider Erasmus and the problem of strife, George Puttenham as a comedic artificer, the hermeneutics of William Tyndale, the editorial disputes in The Adventures of Master F.J., the wooing of Amoret and Scudamour, and the 'writing' of the Virginia Company. Contributors: Jessica Wolfe, Gerald Snare, Jon Pope, Elizabeth Watson, Wayne Erickson, Mary Free, Amy Scott, Aaron Landau, Jeanne Roberts, and Jay Stubblefield. M. Thomas Hester is professor of English, and Christopher Cobb is assistant professor of English, both at North Carolina State University.

This book depicts the Early Modern book markets in Europe and colonial Latin America. The nature of book production and distribution in this period resulted in the development of a truly international market. The integration of the book market was facilitated by networks of printers and booksellers, who were responsible for the connection of distant places, as well as local producers and merchants. At the same time, due to the particular nature of books, political and religious institutions intervened in book markets. Printers and booksellers lived in a politically fragmented world where religious boundaries often shifted. This book explores both the development of commercial networks as well as how the changing institutional settings shaped relationships in the book market.

Cet ouvrage, fruit d’un colloque international qui s’est déroulé à Dijon en mars 2012, réfléchit au thème de la région natale chez les écrivains de la Renaissance, qu’ils écrivent en latin ou en français. Il se propose de considérer l’image que ceux-ci ont laissée de leur « petite patrie », comme Cicéron qualifiait Arpinum. Tout en s’intéressant à des auteurs d’Europe du Sud (le Mantouan Battista Spagnoli, l’Espagnol Juan Luis Vivès), il fait la part belle aux écrivains de Nord, connus ou moins connus, issus de pays variés (Flamands, Germains, Ecossais, Français...). Les communications dégagent les caractéristiques d’un humanisme du nord qui, par son ancrage régional, s’affirme en opposition ou en rivalité avec l’humanisme du sud, et analysent les différentes modalités de la description de la région natale: élogieuse souvent, plus rarement critique, celle-ci est parfois «biaisée» (la «petite patrie» n’est pas le lieu de naissance mais un autre lieu), voire refusée (en particulier par les auteurs protestants). L’ensemble se présente comme un vaste aperçu de l’image qu’ont laissée de leur région natale une trentaine d’auteurs de genres littéraires divers, de pays divers, de confessions diverses, mais qui tous témoignent du caractère très riche de ce motif pour une herméneutique de leurs oeuvres..
