The essay reads Titus Andronicus in the light of the recent geographical discoveries, as a work where sixteenth-century debates on the origin of the savage in the New world emerge. Equally compelling is the concomitant attraction and fear prevalent in elizabethan society regarding contamination and miscegenation between several ethnic groups which was generated and even increased by the encounter with othernes from the newly discovered lands.

Abstract
The essay reads Titus Andronicus in the light of the recent geographical discoveries, as a work where sixteenth-century debates on the origin of the savage in the New world emerge. Equally compelling is the concomitant attraction and fear prevalent in elizabethan society regarding contamination and miscegenation between several ethnic groups which was generated and even increased by the encounter with othernes from the newly discovered lands.File in questo prodotto:
