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.
