Kinney whose energetic leadership of ELR and of the Arthur F. Kinney Center for Interdisciplinary Renaissance Studies has contributed somuch to our field. I owe a special debt to Arthur for generously publishing my essay, “The New Historicism in Renaissance Studies,” in ELR in 1984. That decision gave my career a tremendous boost in the days when I was a fledgling in Renaissance studies, and Arthur repeated it many times over for other newcomers to the field. Those who take time from their own scholarship to edit top-tier journals deserve abundant thanks from all of us.Without them the scholarly conversations and the publishing opportunities we all rely onwould dwindle. So, thank you, Arthur, most sincerely. I am going to use my time in this short essay to write a little about the current state of Renaissance studies, but also about our discipline and American academia more broadly. I will write in a personal vein because in a few years I will be retiring frommy formal academic position and from many of the daily activities of mentoring, teaching, writing, and even administering that I have loved so dearly. Consequently, I have recently been thinking about the field as I have known it and as I see it taking new shapes around me. Let me start by saying that I was historically lucky to come into the academy as an Assistant Professor in 1975. As part of the wave of women carried into academia on the rising tide of feminist activism, I have all my career felt gratitude to the many people whose struggles made it possible for young women like me to teach, write, and do research at the university level, in my case first at Syracuse University and then at Columbia. As a young scholar, the critical excitement that overtook our field in the 1980s and 1990s was, moreover, positively intoxicating. Deconstruction, new historicism, Marxism, feminism, queer studies,","PeriodicalId":44199,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH LITERARY RENAISSANCE","volume":"50 1","pages":"70 - 75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/706221","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45598092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Doom for Shakespeare is like a place he and his fellows are going to. That does not signify in the twenty-first century. For us, “doom” is not judgment but rather the fact of annihilation. What can scholars of early modern English literature and culture do to help a world at the edge of annihilation? The West is facing a surge of neo-fascist populism and demagoguery. Fear and hatred of the ethnic, racial, and religious Other has pushed its way back into the traditional heartlands of democracy. And fear and hatred is bigger, stronger, and meaner than ever. Even in what was supposed to be the nicest country in the world, Canada, and especially in what used to be my enlightened province of Québec, the fear of foreign invaders—people not like us—seems to be driving much of the political discourse and legislative action. In Québec, the ruling party has just passed Bill 21, which “bars public servants in positions of authority, judges, police officers, government lawyers and public elementary and high school teachers, from wearing religious","PeriodicalId":44199,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH LITERARY RENAISSANCE","volume":"50 1","pages":"161 - 172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/706233","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48146240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The topic is tricky because digital technology changes so rapidly, quickly dating or disproving the kind of speculative or visionary claims that the anniversary essay genre expects. For instance, Marcus’ 1995 essay remarked on the conversion of literary and critical texts into CD-ROM format, a format that turned out to be so short-lived that many of today’s students have never even heard of it, let alone considered using it for their digital scholarly projects. The essay also conjectured that scholars would be “slow to surrender the familiar tactile and visual elements of book reading to the very different demands of the computer” (396), which “cannot be held comfortably in the hand” (397). Who could have anticipated that about 15 years later, Apple would release the iPad, the hand-held device on which I readMarcus’ essay recently, using my Apple “pencil” to make notes on the screen in just the way I would have were I reading a printed version of her text. The experience of reading computer-generated texts today has come closer to the experience of reading printed texts than anyone could have suspected it would become twenty-five years ago. Marcus hardly could have known what was around the corner in 1995, but the value of her essay is that its primary focus is not prognostication about technological unknowns. Instead, it takes stock of how changes in digital technology were intersecting in the mid-nineties with more traditional areas of scholarly inquiry, explaining why early modernists were","PeriodicalId":44199,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH LITERARY RENAISSANCE","volume":"50 1","pages":"8 - 16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/706213","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47874521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So the fallen rebel of Paradise Lost establishes his ownership of that location he now knows as hell, asserts his presence, indeed, his agency, “Here at least / We shall be free” (1.259–60). Deixis (“Here”) marks a frame, invites a spectator to come inside it. By its self-reflexivity, there is a potential for laying claim to agency, even calling attention to the act of asserting, as Heather Dubrow has shown. The space of the “here,” as Satan makes it, is immediately political: a space of freedom. Exile, refugee, migrant, settler, colonist: each a category of person to move across space to reach new, possibly permanent destinations. Domestic vagrancy on the one hand, long-distance international travel on the other: two distorting mirrors in which the Renaissance English saw themselves. Errands into the wilderness, pilgrimages, founders of a “City upon a Hill”: all those early modern motifs for experiencing forms of displacement and adherence to new political relations with those they left behind, with those they travelled with, and with local populations. Conveying fragments of older communities, developing as they detached from them, English Renaissance settlers occupied spaces caught between the originating world and the ones they were in the process of taking as their own. Theirs was a condition of ambivalence, fracture, and elasticity. Satan’s claims for freedom have come hard on the","PeriodicalId":44199,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH LITERARY RENAISSANCE","volume":"50 1","pages":"1 - 7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/706212","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44311138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
