Race on the Renaissance stage -- 1. Desdemona's blackness -- 2. Exemplary Jews and the logic of gentility -- 3. The English Italian -- 4. Race, science, and aversion."Exploring the similar underpinnings of early modern and contemporary ideas of difference, this book examines the English Renaissance understandings of race as depicted in drama.
