Description: Exploring some of the ways that Marlowe’s work might be understood in the light of the growing body of scholarship in ecostudies, participants address topics related to animal studies, queer studies, posthumanist studies, and literature and the environment, all with an eye to considering how these modes of inquiry might offer alternative ways of reading works like Dido, Tamburlaine, and Hero and Leander.
