Violent and recurrent confrontations between disorderly women and patriarchal power are a major feature of the tragedies of Shakespeare, Webster, and Middleton. In this study, Loomba interrelates racial and sexual differences to explore the construction of Renaissance authority and the politics of English studies, particularly Renaissance drama, in postcolonial education. These recurrent confrontations between women and the patriarchal status-quo are discussed in light of the historical and theoretical interweaving of race and gender. The book will be of interest to those studying the history of women and education as well as those interested in Renaissance drama.

"Exploring the similar underpinnings of early modern and contemporary ideas of difference, this book examines the English Renaissance understandings of race as depicted in drama. Reading plays by Shakespeare, Marlow, Webster, and Middleton, Lara Bovilskyoffers case studies of how racial meanings are generated by narratives of boundary crossing--especially miscegenation, religious conversion, class transgression, and moral and physical degeneracy. In the process, she reveals the parallels between the period's conceptions of race and gender"--From publisher description.

Shakespearean Adaptation, Race and Memory in the New World available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. As readers head into the second fifty years of the modern critical study of blackness and black characters in Renaissance drama, it has become a critical commonplace to note black female characters’ almost complete absence from Shakespeare’s plays. Despite this physical absence, however, they still play central symbolic roles in articulating definitions of love, beauty, chastity, femininity, and civic and social standing, invoked as the opposite and foil of women who are “fair”. Beginning from this recognition of black women’s simultaneous physical absence and imaginative presence, this book argues that modern Shakespearean adaptation is a primary means for materializing black women’s often elusive presence in the plays, serving as a vital staging place for historical and political inquiry into racial formation in Shakespeare’s world, and our own. Ranging geographically across North America and the Caribbean, and including film and fiction as well as drama as it discusses remade versions of Othello, Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra, and The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespearean Adaptation, Race, and Memory in the New World will attract scholars of early modern race studies, gender and performance, and women in Renaissance drama.
