In \u003ci\u003eRenaissance Culture and the Everyday\u003c\/i\u003e, such scholars as Judith Brown, Frances Dolan, Richard Helgerson, Debora Shuger, Don Wayne, and Stephanie Jed illuminate the sometimes surprising issues at stake in just such common matters of everyday life during the Renaissance in England and on the Continent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOrganized around the categories of materiality, women, and transgression--and constantly crossing these categories--the book promotes and challenges readers' thinking of the everyday. While not ignoring the aristocratic, it foregrounds the common person, the marginal, and the domestic even as it presents the unusual details of their existence. What results is an expansive, variegated, and sometimes even contradictory vision in which the strange becomes not alien but a defining mark of everyday life.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatricia Fumerton is Associate Professor of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
