Journal Article
\Turkish Dames\ and \English Mastiffs\: The \Turk\ and the Female Body in Massinger's The Renegado
2013
Overview
In early modern travel discourse, exploration of 'distant' or 'other' lands is typically configured as some aspect of the female body. Power relations between East and West were often described in terms of conquest or ravishment, the site of which is typically the female body, as might be seen in early modern English literary response to the Ottoman. Couched in terms of the menace the Ottoman poses to the Western Christian, Massinger's The Renegado courts parallels between sexual license, female rebellion, and religion to address domestic threats at home-not from the Ottoman Empire, but rather from the rebellious English women, who represent a clear danger to the patriarchal hegemony.
