Description

1. Grotesque imperialists, alien scapegoats, and feasting in Marlowe's Doctor Faustus and The Jew of Malta and Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice -- 2. Protestant spiritualism, English nationalism, and holiday festivity in Spenser's Shepheardes calendar and The faerie queene -- 3. Carnival, economics, and social mobility in Dekker's Shoemaker's holiday, Shakespeare's Twelfth night and The winter's tale, and Jonson's Bartholomew fair -- 4. The decline of carnivalesque egalitarianism : Milton's Comus, Herrick's Hesperides, and Mardi Gras appropriations of renaissance texts in the American deep South.
