Summary

Renaissance Papers is a collection of the best scholarly essays submitted each year for presentation at the annual meeting of the Southeastern Renaissance Conference. Organized and sponsored in the early 1950s by Duke University and the universities of South Carolina and North Carolina, the annual meeting is now hosted by various colleges and universities across the southeastern United States. It accepts papers on all subjects relating to the Renaissance -- music, art, history, literature, etc. -- from scholars all over North America and Europe. Camden House has published Renaissance Papers for the Southeastern Renaissance Conference since 1996. Renaissance Papers 1998 contains fourteen articles. Twelve are literary studies, reflecting different critical perspectives, on the works of Marlowe, Spenser, Shakespeare, Donne, Marston, Webster, Jonson, Mary Wroth, and Milton. Two are historical/sociological studies of the court of King James I; one on the implications of Pocahontas's conversion and marriage to an Englishman and the other on the shifting expression of royal authority from public spectacle to the realm of learning in the medium of print.
