1. Things Of Darkness
Economies of Race and Gender in Early Modern England
An interdisciplinary study of early modern England that traces how literature, visual culture, and domestic and mercantile texts constructed blackness and femininity alongside expanding trade and empire. Through close readings of drama, poetry, court masques, travel writing, and household manuals, it links beauty ideals, consumption, and material commodities to racialized and gendered identities, showing how national self-definition and notions of civility emerged from these entwined economies.
