The Girlhood of Shakespeare's Sisters Shakespeare’s Sisters Shakespeare’s of The Girlhood Edinburgh Critical Studies in Renaissance Culture Edinburgh Critical Studies in Renaissance Culture Series Editor: Lorna Hutson hese original interpretations of Renaissance culture focus on literary texts in English and in The Girlhood T a range of vernacular languages. They also deal with the reception and transformation of the Greco-Roman literary, political and intellectual heritage. of Shakespeare’s ‘In this instructive and interesting book, Higginbotham shows the changing and multiple meanings of girlhood on the early modern stage and its potential to disrupt understandings of women’s lives based on marital status. Full of new information and skilful readings of a wide range of plays, The Girlhood of Sisters Shakespeare’s Sisters is invigorating reading.’ Jean Howard, George Delacorte Professor in the Humanities, Columbia University ‘Perhaps the most radical and significant aspect of Higginbotham’s book is her insistence that attending to girlhood as a category of analysis does not merely extend our knowledge of early modern culture and GENDER, its sex-gender system, but requires us to rethink the dominant model through which we have made sense of that culture.’ Kate Chedgzoy, Newcastle University TRANSGRESSION, The first full-length study of how the concept of the ‘girl’ was constructed in Jennifer Higginbotham ADOLESCENCE sixteenth- and seventeenth-century literature and drama he Girlhood of Shakespeare’s Sisters argues for a paradigm shift in our current conceptions of the early modern sex-gender system, challenging the widespread assumption that the category of the ‘girl’ played little or no role in the construction of gender in early modern English culture. TGirl characters appeared in a variety of texts, from female infants in Shakespeare’s late romances to little children in Tudor interludes to adult ‘roaring girls’ in city comedies. Drawing from a variety of print and manuscript sources, including early modern drama, dictionaries, midwifery manuals, and women’s autobiographies, this book argues that girlhood in Shakespeare’s England was both a time of life and a form of gender transgression. Jennifer Higginbotham is Assistant Professor of English at The Ohio State University. She specialises in Shakespeare and Renaissance drama, feminist theory, and early modern women’s writing, and her articles on gender and early modern literature have appeared in the journals Reformation and Modern Philology.

My work on girlhood began with a question in Phyllis Rackin’s Shakespeare seminar at the University of Pennsylvania, and if it weren’t for her unfailing support as a mentor and advisor, this project never would have come to fruition. It is also better and stronger for the feedback I received from Peter Stallybrass and Rebecca Bushnell, who have always been incredibly generous with their comments and time. As the project has developed, I have been fortunate to have the advice of my fellow scholars at The Ohio State University, especially Alan Farmer, Chris Highley, Richard Dutton, Luke Wilson, Hannibal Hamlin and John King, and I am grateful to Lorna Hutson as the series editor for seeing the project to its completion. Over the years the ‘noble girls’ from my writing groups have pro- vided a wonderful support system, and I want to thank Elizabeth Williamson, Jane Dagenhardt, Jessica Rosenfeld, Jamie Taylor and Marissa Greenberg for reading through so many of my early drafts. I am also deeply indebted to the work of Will Fisher, whose work on boyhood served as a lightning rod for my project, and to Kate Chedgzoy, whose suggestions for research helped open new avenues of exploration and enabled me to write the book I wanted to write. A number of other scholars have also offered wonderful recommendations over the years, including Erika Lin, Melissa Sanchez, Claire Busse, Gina Bloom, Laura Gowing, Gordon McMullan, Lucy Munroe, Ann Thompson, Diane Purkiss, Caroline Bicks, Deanne Williams, Margreta de Grazia, David Wallace, Rita Copeland, Vicki Mahaffey and Emily Steiner. Stephanie Gibbs Kamath deserves a medal for listening to me wax enthusiastic about dictionary entries over endless cups of tea in the British Library, and Justine Murison, Alex Fleck and Veronica Schanoes will always have my undying gratitude for all the hours they spent listening to me talk about girlhood. My thanks also go to Jared Ellman for his many HHIGGINBOTHAMIGGINBOTHAM 99780748655908780748655908 PPRINT.inddRINT.indd vvii 006/12/20126/12/2012 116:186:18 Acknowledgements vii kindnesses, and to Karen Robertson and Leslie Dunn, for introducing me to feminist Renaissance studies.

On the one hand, the choice of the word ‘culture’ (rather than, say, ‘literature’) suggests that writers in this series subscribe to the now widespread assumption that the ‘literary’ is not isolable, as a mode of signifying, from other signifying practices that make up what we call ‘culture’. On the other hand, most of the critical work in English literary studies of the period 1500–1700 which endorses this idea has rejected the older identifi cation of the period as ‘the Renaissance’, with its implicit homage to the myth of essential and universal Man coming to stand (in all his sovereign individuality) at the centre of a new world picture. In other words, the term ‘culture’ in the place of ‘literature’ leads us to expect the words ‘early modern’ in the place of ‘Renaissance’. Why, then, ‘Edinburgh Critical Studies in Renaissance Culture’? The answer to that question lies at the heart of what distinguishes this critical series and defi nes its parameters. As Terence Cave has argued, the term ‘early modern’, though admirably egalitarian in conception, has had the unfortunate effect of essentialising the modern, that is, of positing

  • The Semantics of Racial Slurs”
    Linguistic and Philosophical Investigations Volume 13, 2014, pp. 11–32, ISSN 1841-2394 REMARKS ON “THE SEMANTICS OF RACIAL SLURS” ADAM M. CROOM [email protected] University of Pennsylvania ABSTRACT. In “The Semantics of Racial Slurs,” an article recently published in Linguistic and Philosophical Investigations, Hedger (2012) draws upon Kaplan’s (1999) distinction between descriptive and expressive content to argue that slurs are expressions with purely expressive content. Here I review the key considerations presented by Hedger (2012) in support of his purely expressive account of slurs and provide clear reasons for why it must ultimately be rejected. After reviewing the key cases Hedger (2012) offers for consideration in support of his view that slurs are expressions with purely expressive content, this article provides a critical evaluation of these cases, pointing out at least 13 ways in which his purely expressive analysis of slurs fails. In considering the 13 ways in which the purely expressive analysis of slurs remains inadequate, this article concludes with the suggestion that an adequate account of slurs will ultimately involve not only an expressive aspect but a descrip- tive aspect also. Keywords: slurs, epithets, philosophy of language, semantics, pragmatics, expressivism 1. Introduction In “The Semantics of Racial Slurs,” an article recently published in Lin- guistic and Philosophical Investigations, Hedger (2012) draws upon Kap- lan’s (1999) distinction between descriptive and expressive content to argue that slurs are expressions with purely expressive content.1 In this article I review the key considerations presented by Hedger (2012) in support of his purely expressive account of slurs and provide clear reasons for why it must ultimately be rejected.

  • BHS Handbook
    Brookline High School • The Handbook i Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students, The stated mission of Brookline High is “to develop capable confident life-long learners who contribute to their community, participate thoughtfully in democracy and succeed in a diverse and evolving global society.” We do that by striving to meet the learning needs of all students through offering a thoughtful and broad course of study and appropriate supports. To achieve our mission, we are also committed to creating a safe and respectful learning environment for all students, faculty, and staff. This high school has high expectations for students, but it also highly trusts them to behave in ways that create that respectful learning environment. The philosophy is that if we adults respect students, give them freedoms, but also expect them to be responsible members of the school community, then students grow more and we have a better school. In addition, it is crucial that we have clear and consistently held expectations, guidelines, and consequences for infractions that are applied fairly. All communities try to strike the delicate balance between freedom and responsibility. Students at BHS are given freedoms, but they also need to know and understand their rights and their responsibilities. This Handbook and Code of Conduct describe and explain the rules, regulations, consequences, and procedures for infractions. It does not detail all possible infractions, however students are expected to behave responsibly and with good judgment, and you can be held accountable if your behavior does not meet BHS standards. The Handbook and Code of Conduct will be made available and reviewed in student advisory.
