"The Nature of Whiteness in Henry V's Theater of the Earth" with Marjorie Rubright

Monday, April 10, 6:00-7:15 PM

Haldeman 041

Marjorie Rubright is associate professor of English at the University of Massachusetts amherst and Director of the Kinney Center for Interdisciplinary Renaissance Studies. she is the author of Doppelganger Dilemmas: Anglo-Dutch Relations in Early Modern English Literature and Culture (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2014). Her current book project, A World of Words: Language Earth and Embodiement in the Renaissance, traces the earthly substrates of renaissance lexical culture, examining period-specific ways of thinking about human sameness and difference that emerge when language and linguistic identity are imaginatively linked not only to ethnicized and recialized human bodies, but also to a diversity of earthly matter.

This event is supported by the Leslie Center for the Humanities.
