Download Greek Romance Influence in Shakespeare and Sidney Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This study posits that the Greek romances of late antiquity significantly influenced the works of William Shakespeare and Sir Philip Sidney, particularly in shaping the portrayal of the chaste marriage plot. The research explores how the themes of Greek romance, specifically the ideals of mutual love in marriage and wedded chastity, reflected the social and religious ethics of the Jacobean and Elizabethan era. The renewed interest in Hellenistic romance during this period coincided with the emergence of a Protestant sexual ethic emphasizing mutual love within marriage. The genre of Greek romance further contributed to the theme of erotic suffering, evident in the ideal romance plot pattern where love leads to marriage, with the young hero and heroine overcoming adversity to uphold the principle of true love. The study delves into Sir Philip Sidney's use of the Greek romance model in the New Arcadia, focusing on his exploration of erotic suffering as a paradigm of female virtue. Sidney explicitly draws on the Heliodorian model of ideal love.

Download European Erotic Romance Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
European Erotic Romance examines the Renaissance publication and translation of the ancient Greek erotic romances, and English adaptations of the genre by Sir Philip Sidney, Shakespeare and Lady Mary Sidney Wroth. Providing fresh insight into the development of the novel, this study identifies the politicisation of erotic romance by the European philhellene (lovers of all things Greek) Protestant movement. To English translators and authors, the complex plots, well developed moralised characters (particularly female) and rhetorical styles of the ancient novels signify political and social reform. Generous quotation and translations ensure that European Erotic Romance is accessible to a broad spectrum of readers. Its organisation lends itself to use as a course text. It is suitable for use by senior undergraduates and specialists in Renaissance literature, translation, rhetoric and history.

Download The Erotic Motive in Literature Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This work, first published in 1919, is an endeavour to apply some of the methods of psychoanalysis to literature. It traces a writer’s books back to the outward and inner events of their life and to reveal of their unconscious. This unconscious is largely identical with the mental love fantasies in our present and past life. Since the terms ‘unconscious’ and ‘erotic’ are almost synonymous, any serious study of literature which is concerned with the unconscious must deal impartially with eroticism.

Download Erotic Subjects Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Treating sixteenth- and seventeenth-century erotic literature as part of English political history, Erotic Subjects traces some surprising implications of two early modern commonplaces: first, that love is the basis of political consent and obedience, and second, that suffering is an intrinsic part of love. Rather than dismiss such assumptions as mere conventions, Melissa Sanchez uncovers the political import of early modern literature's fascination with eroticized violence. Focusing on representations of masochism, sexual assault, and cross-gendered identification, Sanchez re-examines the work of politically active writers from Philip Sidney to John Milton. She argues that political allegiance and consent appear far less conscious and deliberate than traditional historical narratives allow when Sidney depicts abjection as a source of both moral authority and sexual arousal; when Edmund Spenser and William Shakespeare make it hard to distinguish between rape and seduction; when Mary Wroth and Margaret Cavendish depict women who adore treacherous or abusive lovers; when court masques stress the pleasures of enslavement; or when Milton insists that even Edenic marriage is hopelessly pervaded by aggression and self-loathing. Sanchez shows that this literature constitutes an alternate tradition of political theory that acknowledges the irrational and perverse components of power and thereby disrupts more conventional accounts of politics as driven by self-interest, false consciousness, or brute force. Erotic Subjects will be of interest to students and scholars of early modern literary and political history, as well as those interested in the histories of gender, sexuality, and affect more generally.
