      "Patronage and Patriarchy, Matronage and Matriarchy"
 
                         David Bevington
=================================================================
 
This seminar will focus on selected dramatic texts from the late
fifteenth century through the early Jacobean period, largely in
terms of new historicist and feminist concerns: patronage of the
drama under Henry VII and VIII; uses of drama in the reigns of
Edward VI and Mary I for polemical purposes close to the court;
the role of Queen Elizabeth in relation to drama that offered
both flattery and criticism; the importance of new Protestant
ideas about companionate marriage and how such ideas are
reflected in Elizabethan drama; and male projections of women as
material for drama.
 
David Bevington is the Phyllis Fay Horton Professor in the
Humanities at the University of Chicago. His publications include
_From Mankind to Marlowe: Growth of Structure in the Popular
Drama of Tudor England_ (1962) and _Action is Eloquence:
Shakespeare's Language of Gesture_ (1984).  He is also a prolific
editor of numerous editions of Renaissance texts, including the
Bantam Shakespeare (1988).
