Renaissance Literature
A distinguished Renaissance faculty emphasizes new historicist perspectives on Renaissance culture (Bruster, Mallin, Whigham), the textual and political character of Elizabethan and Jacobean drama and performance (Friedman, Loehlin, Mallin, Richmond-Garza, Whigham), rhetoric and the new humanism (Rebhorn), modern critical constructions of Milton (Rumrich), seventeenth-century poetry and Augustinian poetics (Frost), and the role of gender and theories of will in early scientific writing (Chapelle Wojciehowski).
