Yet many have found it impossible to speak of his ethnicity with any certainty. What did it mean to be a Moor in the early modern period? In the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, when England was expanding its reach across the globe, the Moor became a central character on the English stage. In The Battle of Alcazar, Titus Andronicus, Lust's Dominion, and Othello, the figure of the Moor took definition from multiple geographies, histories, religions, and skin colors.Rather than casting these variables as obstacles to our-and England's-understanding of the Moor's racial and cultural identity, Emily C. Bartels argues that they are what make the Moor so interesting and important in the face of growing globalization, both in the early modern period and in our own. In Speaking of the Moor, Bartels sets the early modern Moor plays beside contemporaneous texts that embed Moorish figures within England's historical record-Richard Hakluyt's Principal Navigations, Queen Elizabeth's letters proposing the deportation of England's "blackamoors," and John Pory's translation of The History and Description of Africa. Her book uncovers the surprising complexity of England's negotiation and accommodation of difference at the end of the Elizabethan era. 606 $aDRAMA$2bisac 606 $aShakespeare$2bisac 606 $aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism$yEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600 606 $aBlack people in literature 606 $aRace in literature 606 $aEnglish$2HILCC 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aEnglish Literature$2HILCC 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMedieval and Renaissance Studies. 615 7$aDRAMA 615 7$aShakespeare 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aBlack people in literature 615 0$aRace in literature 615 7$aEnglish 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 615 7$aEnglish Literature 676 $a822.309355 686 $aHI 1250$2rvk 700 $aBartels$b Emily C.$01563650 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781615503321 996 $aSpeaking of the Moor$93832212 997 $aUNINA
