Overview

Body Narratives deals with changing body configurations in the literature and culture of sixteenth-century England. It investigates the relationship between disciplinary discourses of the human body and political body imagery in the texts of courtly writers like Spenser, Sidney, Ralegh, and others, and traces its interdependence in their narratives of national identity, imperial expansion, and gender difference.

Synopsis

Explores the deployment of body imagery in the formation processes of both subject and nation in the literature of Elizabethan England.
