　　In English Ethnicity and Race in Early Modern Drama, Mary

Floyd-Wilson 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. Southerners, Africans, in particular, were

identified as dispassionate, cool-tempered and wise, whereas the

more northern English were understood to be unruly, impressionable

and slow-witted. Concerned with the unflattering and constraining

implications of this classically derived knowledge, English writers

laboured to reinvent ethnology to their own advantage - a labour

that paved the way for the invention of more familiar racial ideas.

Floyd-Wilson highlights these English revisionary efforts in her

surprising and transformational readings of the period's drama,

including Marlowe's Tamburlaine, Jonson's The Masque of Blackness

and Shakespeare's Othello and Cymbeline.

书籍介绍

In English Ethnicity and Race in Early Modern Drama, first published in 2003, Mary Floyd-Wilson 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. Southerners, Africans, in particular, were identified as dispassionate, cool-tempered and wise, whereas the more northern English were understood to be unruly, impressionable and slow-witted. Concerned with the unflattering and constraining implications of this classically derived knowledge, English writers laboured to reinvent ethnology to their own advantage - a labour that paved the way for the invention of more familiar racial ideas. Floyd-Wilson highlights these English revisionary efforts in her surprising and transformational readings of the period's drama, including Marlowe's Tamburlaine, Jonson's The Masque of Blackness and Shakespeare's Othello and Cymbeline.

  考研参考书目。作为科普读物还可以了，详略处理的也还行。很多地方也不是传统观点了，但伽利略那里真是一言难尽...不是一个作者写的吧？

  说好的地图，基本只有几张，而且图文不对应，根本无法帮助理解。两个作者文风差异好大，整本看下来还不如看wikipedia得到的知识生动

  书的目录还好，内容比较杂而且排版规律很差。

  样例bug满书飞，一天看完知道些爬虫工具，但是我觉得这本书仍然停留在博客水平（还是质量很一般的），不建议购买。

  吉登斯从这本书中得到了很多启发，我不得不承认用哲学化的语言写作是一件只有天才和最勤奋的人的工作， 当我在每个看似简单的局子里绕的时候我明白了哲学可以在拷问句子的过程拷问思想，就像我想象中的海德格尔，语言成了锤子，它失去了简单的表意功能，它沉醉与语言的征战，它不在是游戏，它让没有经过哲学训练者望而却步，显然这不是一个外行人应该去挑战的历险。

• 还是人民文学的版本好
