Medieval & Renaissance Literary Studies
Rebecca Totaro and Reginald A. Wilburn, Editors
 
The award-winning Medieval & Renaissance Literary Studies (MRLS) series seeks to promote the study of late medieval, Renaissance and seventeenth century English literature by publishing scholarly and critical monographs, collections of essays, editions and bibliographies. Of particular interest are works concerning Donne, Cavendish, Hutchinson, Milton, Shakespeare, Spenser, and Wroth. The series encourages a broad range of interpretation, including the relationship of literature and its cultural contexts, close textual analysis, and the use of contemporary critical methodologies.
 
Established in 2003 under the auspices of Duquesne University Press, in 2019 this award-winning series was reconceived by PSU Press under the title Cultural Inquiries in English Literature, 1400–1700. It comes to Kent State with its original title and scope.
 
The MRLS Editorial Board includes Dennis Britton, Hillary Eklund, Wendy Beth Hyman, Arthur Little, Julia Reinhard Lupton, Joyce MacDonald, Vin Nardizzi, Gail Kern Paster, Garrett Sullivan, and Tiffany Jo Werth.

The Art of Pity

| Filed under: Forthcoming, Literature & Literary Criticism, Medieval & Renaissance Literary Studies
The Art of Pity cover. Danielle A. St. Hilaire.

In this thoughtfully researched and beautifully written study, Danielle St. Hilaire argues that we can find frameworks for understanding the intersection of emotion, ethics, and literature that unite modern discourses of aesthetic autonomy with seemingly incompatible ethical theories that have largely fallen out of contemporary discussions regarding the value of literature.
