Caroline McManus
Office: E & T A 609
Prof. McManus teaches courses ranging from English 250 to graduate seminars in Renaissance literature, but she most frequently teaches the following: English 200B (Survey of English Literature I), English 417 (Shakespeare I), English 419 (Milton), English 463 (Renaissance Literature), English 464 (Seventeenth-Century Literature), and English 494 (Literary Study and the Teaching Profession). Her approach to literary texts combines historicism, feminism, and formalism.
Interested in early modern English literature and culture, Professor McManus has published articles on a variety of topics, including the depiction of women in portraits of Elizabeth I, the significance of nursing in Spenser's *Faerie Queene,* the performance of the Maundy Thursday service and its satirical reenactment in Jonson's *Alchemist* (forthcoming in *English Literary Renaissance*), and Wharton's adaptation of Shakespearean romantic comedy in *The House of Mirth* (forthcoming in *Studies in Philology*). She is also interested in innovative pedagogical strategies; she contributed an essay on using commonplace books to *Approaches to Teaching Shorter Elizabethan Poetry* and her essay on adaptations of Shakespeare for children is forthcoming in an edited volume to be published by Routledge. Her first book, *Spenser's Faerie Queene and the Reading of Women,* is being published by the University of Delaware Press, and she is working on a second book-length study entitled *"Wise Enough to Play the Fool": Women and Fools in the Drama of Shakespeare and His Contemporaries.* Representative Professional Activities
