This course explores the dialogue and interrelation between contained spaces ("home") and spaces on the outside ("world"), beginning first with domestic spaces, and then moving outward to such realms and concepts as "community," "nation," "national language(s)," "race," and "other worlds," quite literally. Primary readings: ballads ("Lady and the Blackamoor" and "Good Fellows Frolick"); the anonymous Arden of Faversham; Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor; Deloney's Jack of Newbury; Jonson's Pleasure Reconciled to Virtue and its sequel, For the Honor of Wales; Nashe's The Unfortunate Traveller; Marlowe's Jew of Malta together with Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice; "Miles Philips put on shore in the West Indies" together with Raleigh's "Discovery of Guiana"; and Shakespeare's The Tempest.
