From Court To Collar: Post-Elizabethan Poetics And The Submissive Stance, Timothy J. Duffy May 2006

From Court To Collar: Post-Elizabethan Poetics And The Submissive Stance, Timothy J. Duffy

Fenwick Scholar Program

This project was created out of one key observation about the English Renaissance: that the poets of the sixteenth and seventeenth-centuries had to deal with social pressures, influences, and expectations far more directly than their eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth-century, or contemporary counterparts.

Indeed, incest sits at the center (both literally and figuratively) of the Book of Chastity, the very book wherein Spenser encourages Elizabeth 'in mirrours more then one her selfe to see.'
