Reading and the History of Race in the Renaissance (Cambridge University Press, 2011)

by Elizabeth Spiller

http://www.cambridge.org/us/knowledge/isbn/item6227746/?site_locale=en_US

"Elizabeth Spiller's Reading and the History of Race in the Renaissance is an invaluable resource in the study of Renaissance and early Modern romance. A balanced and engaging exploration of the centrifugal force that race had on the ideological and thematic narratives shaping the romance genre, Spiller's analysis illuminates the racial imperatives that shaped the generic development of the romance tradition in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.This study offers an innovative frame for rethinking early modern romance reading practices and racial identification. This is an admirable contribution to the field."
-Margo Hendricks, University of California, Santa Cruz

"Elizabeth Spiller's Reading and the History of Race in the Renaissance is dazzling in scope and approach. Critically innovative, the book unites the seemingly disparate fields of book history and critical race studies. Yet, Spiller demonstrates just how palpably connected the Romance form and racialized identity formations were. The study re-historicizes the notion of the encounter as a text-based and embodied experience, and is sure to change the trajectory of early modern race studies."
-Ayanna Thompson, Arizona State University
