'Renaissance Papers' collects the best scholarly essays submitted each year to the Southeastern Renaissance Conference. The 2008 volume, in keeping with the Conference's meeting at the new Blackfriars Playhouse at the American Shakespeare Center in Staunton, Virginia, has a special emphasis on the performance history of Renaissance drama. It includes essays on the use of trap doors in London theaters, on the staging of dismemberment in Renaissance plays, on the economics of the boys' companies, and on Jonson's engagement with changing patterns of theatrical patronage in 'Volpone'. An essay on 'Troilus and Cressida' and the history play rounds out the volume's studies in drama. Three essays treat epic from a variety of perspectives, considering in turn Spenser's techniques for leading readers to doubt his narrator in Book Three of the 'Faerie Queene', Marlowe's allusions to Lucan in 'Hero and Leander', and Milton's treatment of names and materialism in 'Paradise Lost'. Two essays examine decidedly different incidents of sixteenth-century religious controversy: Wolsey's use of Italian models to display his magnificence through his building program, and Thomas Stapleton's translation of Bede during the Great Controversy to refute Protestant claims about the origins of the English Church. Contributors: Jane Blanchard, Kevin M. Carr, Nicholas Crawford, Sara Nair James, Claire Kimball, C. Bryan Love, Pamela Royston Macfie, James J. Mainard O'Connell, Paul J. Stapleton, and Lewis Walker. Christopher Cobb is assistant professor of English at Saint Mary's College.

'Renaissance Papers' collects the best scholarly essays submitted each year to the Southeastern Renaissance Conference. In the 2005 volume, two essays focus on Shakespeare: one on 'choric juxtaposition' in his twinned characters and one on the rhetoric of 'The Tempest'; another essay on drama considers Dryden's critical response to 'Epicoene'. There are two essays on John Donne, one on the choir space in his conduct of worship in St. Paul's and the other on the revisions to his 'Elegies'. Other essays consider the influence of Castiglione on the paintings of Bronzino, the metaphor of the horse and horsemanship in Sidney's poetics, and the role of conversation in Hutchinson and Milton. CONTRIBUTORS: GEORGE WALTON WILLIAMS, SARA VAN DEN BERG, JENNIFER BRADY, JOHN N. WALL, ERNEST W. SULLIVAN II, HEATHER L. HOLIAN, ANNE LAKE PRESCOTT, AND BOYD BERRY. M. THOMAS HESTER is professor of English, and CHRISTOPHER COBB is assistant professor of English, both at North Carolina State University.

Renaissance Papers collects the best scholarly essays submitted each year to the Southeastern Renaissance Conference. The 2014 volume opens and closes with essays on historically based explorations of identity: the first on the circle of Jane Scroop in Skelton's Philip Sparrow, and the last on dogs and horses as symbols of national identity in early modern England. The heart of thisyear's journal is English drama, especially Jonson and Marlowe: there are essays on Puritan logic in Jonson's Bartholomew Fair; grotesque sex in Jonson's Volpone; the role of anti-Catholicism in the creation of Marlowe's Dr. Faustus; and the relationship between puppetry and the Faust legend. Marlowe and Jonson also surface in two reconsiderations of their non-dramatic works;first an essay on Ovidian resonances in Marlowe's Hero and Leander, and second a reflection on Spenserian echoes in Jonson's Epode. The next essay shifts to the poetics of religious literature, arguing for clothing as an important metaphor for renewal in Herbert's The Temple, and the penultimate essay addresses imaginative resources in the Martin Marprelate pamphlets. Contributors: William Coulter, Philip Goldfarb, Chris Hill, Joanna Kucinski, Pamela Macfie, Sara Mayo, Barry Shelton, Emily Stockard, Lisa Ulevich, Emma Annette Wilson. The journal is edited by Jim Pearce of North Carolina Central University and Ward Risvold of the University of Georgia.
