Kommentar:
This lecture will serve as an introduction to the Renaissance in Britain. It will commence with a historical overview and proceed to address various aspects of Renaissance culture. Among other things, it will discuss the influence of religion and Renaissance Humanism, with a particular emphasis on Renaissance self-fashioning. The lecture will address print and manuscript culture, patronage systems, court and coterie cultures, and the Renaissance stage. We will, for instance, speak about the significant differences between present-day conceptions of authorship and those of the Renaissance. The lecture will explore dominant constructions of the body and what we would now term sex, gender and sexuality, illustrating that how we conceive of our identities and experiences in these terms is historically and culturally contingent. We will, moreover, address Early Modern ecology.
