Du Bois, and especially his description in The Souls of Black Folk (1903) of living as a Black man in early twentieth-century America behind a “Veil” of cultivated prejudice. Du Bois’s rhetorical mode is frequently allegorical, in ways that resonate with Spenser’s Faerie Queene and raise crucial questions: When does allegory conceal or make endurable what it shouldn’t? And when does it reveal to us truths we must confront about ourselves? I suggest that for Du Bois—and, in very different ways, for Spenser—allegory points to the disproportionate burden that an exploitative capitalist system places on certain racialized groups. But while the two writers offer veiled—and not-so-veiled—critiques of this system, Spenser is careless of the racial implications of his allegory, implications that Du Bois describes—and lives through—in Souls.","PeriodicalId":39606,"journal":{"name":"Spenser Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87651492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

“With a second hand”: Spenser with Roland Barthes “用第二只手”:斯宾塞和罗兰·巴特

While Spenser might seem an unlikely choice for this kind of discussion, this essay argues that in Amoretti 75 and 80 Spenser considers writing and its relation to both love and time. Barthes turns out to be a fitting companion for an examination of Spenser’s textual production in the sequence. With its focus on both the writer and the reader, sonnet 75 is particularly well suited to being placed in conversation with The Pleasure of the Text. In addition, Barthes’s focus on the reader allows me to consider my own pleasure as a reader of both Barthes and Spenser.","PeriodicalId":39606,"journal":{"name":"Spenser Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84558699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay also considers the cuteness of Amoretti as a material object and how the sequence’s paratexts similarly employ cute poetics in managing affective relationships between Spenser, his patrons, and his readers. In reading Amoretti as a collection of poetically cute works and as a cute commodity, this essay ruminates on what critique study of Spenser offers to Ngai’s arguments about cute aesthetics and emotional responses to cute objects.","PeriodicalId":39606,"journal":{"name":"Spenser Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85348336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bizarre Numerousness: A Response to “Companions and Doubles” 奇异的数量:对“同伴与替身”的回应

{"title":"Bizarre Numerousness: A Response to “Companions and Doubles”","authors":"Kathryn Murphy","doi":"10.1086/723529","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/723529","url":null,"abstract":"Embedded in Eric Langley and Luke Prendergast’s essay on Spenser and Derrida is a defense of the humble literary and critical practice of juxtaposition. “Placing disparate things side by side,” they write, “inevitably reveals surprising resemblances between them”—a reliable principle, then, of literary criticism that can be used to disrupt what we think we know about a text and its habitual companions. But is a resemblance still surprising if its discovery is inevitable? Joe Moshenska has written of the “delirious paranoia that The Faerie Queene is capable of inducing,” the sense that its allegory’s atmosphere of global meaningfulness, at theminute level and themacrocosmic, pervades not just the text but everything and anything else you might be reading or thinking of at the same time. Moshenska’s contingent reading was Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit—a match for Spenser at least in terms of scale and ambition, as well as in the allegorical habits of synthesis and sublation. But the principle holds everywhere. In his great final essay “Of Experience,”Montaigne—after giving full voice to the anxiety of variety, the fear that difference is so universal a quality that no abstracted knowledge can be possible—acknowledges that, though “no event and no shape is entirely like another, so none is entirely different from another. . . . All things hold together by some similarity; . . . we fasten together our comparisons by some corner.” There is always some awkward joint of “as” or “like” or simile, by which we can make different things belong together. This is a principle at once inevitable and unpredictable,","PeriodicalId":39606,"journal":{"name":"Spenser Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90170932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

“Lyke a faire Lady, but did fowle Duessa hyde”: Spenser with Val Plumwood “像一位窈窕淑女，却不像杜莎·海德”:斯宾塞和瓦尔·普拉姆伍德

Druzak","doi":"10.1086/723158","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/723158","url":null,"abstract":"Scholarship on Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene often attends to Duessa in her villainous dimensions, such as her part in the moral of Book I and alignment with Mary Queen of Scots. But what of the Duessa who is later stripped and shown to be partially nonhuman, with her eagle’s talons, fox’s tail, and bark-like skin? How does her amalgamative identity affect Faerieland’s knights, such as Fradubio’s translation into a tree and Redcrosse into a liquid body? This article reads Duessa alongside ecofeminist scholar Val Plumwood’s Feminism and the Mastery of Nature, particularly her concept of continuity, to address these questions. In so doing, it conceptualizes how, when read as companionate texts, Plumwood’s work allows readers to consider Duessa as an agent of continuity—or interconnection with nature—who creates this change in others. Further, it considers how, in the current moment of climate crises, she offers contemporary readers a template for relating to the environment.","PeriodicalId":39606,"journal":{"name":"Spenser Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90542894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Well, imagine two contrasting scenes. Begin by imagining a meeting of Renaissance scholars, where you, the speaker, are talking about a play we all know—say, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. To mention Bottom is, even before you make your point, to make many of us smile and glance at one another happily. We, your audience, are reminded of what we hold in common: our shared knowledge of this delightful character and, to some extent, our shared knowledge of what critics have said about him. By saying the word “Bottom,” you appear to be about to tell a story that we all know—in this context, a family story. But now imagine, in contrast, that at this same meeting of Renaissance scholars you begin your presentation by launching into an account of an idea of Theodor W. Adorno’s or Roland Barthes’s or Jacques Rancière’s. You may encounter a quite different response.

Focusing on Book II, I analyze Spenser’s productive use of dissonant elements at the different levels of narrative and style, which produce a similar effect to the alienating techniques that Adorno praises in literary and musical forms of expression. I then consider Adorno’s discussion of dissonance as an essential aspect of late style and bring it to bear on Spenser’s poetic practice in the conclusive Mutabilitie Cantos of the epic. I suggest that this comparative analysis may not only open up new avenues for interpreting Spenser’s epic but also help us to reassess the significance of Adorno’s more neglected discussions of dissonance in his minor works of literary criticism, which gesture toward the importance of this concept as a tool for textual analysis.","PeriodicalId":39606,"journal":{"name":"Spenser Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72822047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

“But were it not … ”: Spenser with Kwame Anthony Appiah “但如果不是……”:斯宾塞和夸梅·安东尼·阿皮亚

The ethical theories offered by these ideological and intellectual antitheses converge, however, on the notion that counterfactual representations play a crucial role in imagining and actively shaping our moral and political lives. Reading Spenser’s ethical poetics through the taxonomy of counterfactual thought described in Appiah’s As If: Idealizations and Ideals (2017) clarifies the various forms and functions assumed by what Appiah would call “strategic untruths” in The Faerie Queene’s moral allegory. The centrality of counterfactual thinking to Spenser’s writing is evident in the poet’s use of it in the Gardens of Adonis, which is the cosmogonic apex of the 1590 Faerie Queene, and in his representations of slander, the paradigmatic social ill in Spenser’s ethical imagination. For both Spenser and Appiah, counterfactual reasoning and representation are crucial tools for moral self-formation and, more largely, for articulating moral societies in a mutable world marked by historical and cultural transformations.","PeriodicalId":39606,"journal":{"name":"Spenser Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78007417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I examine the imperial objective that shapes dynastic destiny in The Faerie Queene, locating it within Spenser’s chronicles of British history and prophesies of British empire and Britomart’s rescue of Artegall from Radigund and restoration of male rule. What Spenser’s racial and colonial project shares with Serano’s theorization of transmisogyny is that both seek to transmute cacophony into ordered hierarchy, whether of innocence or injury. Putting a sixteenth-century Protestant colonial administrator and a twenty-first-century trans writer and activist into transhistorical conversation, I propose, yields new insights into the practices of early modern trans studies. How can we as scholars respond to a record of European violence while remaining cognizant that our own critical practices may inadvertently reproduce the colonial mindsets and racial erasures we consciously repudiate?","PeriodicalId":39606,"journal":{"name":"Spenser Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82607004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two meet on a pier in Felixstowe, England, where Aggie lives and where Bill is joining his father on an inspection. To Bill, Aggie appears “local, typically stunted, dim,” whereas he is “simply global,” or, in Aggie’s words, “from nowhere.” He objects to her description, explaining that social belonging in the real world, his world, depends on being mobile: “If you can’t move, you’re no one from nowhere. ‘Capital must flow.’ ” Aggie is headed to her sister’s laying out, but she doesn’t know the way. She is so local, it seems, that she cannot navigate even familiar paths. Melly Durham, Aggie’s informal guardian, had been guiding her (“No one knows town like Melly. She’ll say, ‘This used to be here, but they knocked it down,’ or, ‘There was a pub here with a mark on the wall where the water rose.’ She’s memoried every corner”), but now Aggie has to rely on Bill, after being spontaneously left by Melly in his care.
