English Ethnicity and Race in Early Modern Drama
Floyd-Wilson, Mary (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)
This 2003 volume outlines what we might call 'scientific' conceptions of racial and ethnic differences in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English writing. Drawing on classical and contemporary medical texts, histories and cosmographies, Floyd-Wilson demonstrates that Renaissance understandings of racial and ethnic identities contradicted many modern stereotypes concerning difference.
