English and Drama Research Seminar | Professor Elizabeth Hodgson (University of British Columbia)
Smoking Sex: The Somerset Wedding and Jacobean Court Drama
When the Earl of Somerset, lover and favourite of King James VI and I, married the rather scandalously divorced Frances Howard in 1613, all of literary London showed up for the party. The Mask of Flowers celebrates this power-wedding with loaded ambiguities: men transformed into libidinal flowers; the gods of wine and tobacco battling each other for territory; and the king as matchmaker of both courtiers and nations. Masculinities, sexualities, and colonial commodification all dance together in this odd court entertainment that suggests a great deal about the politics and trafficking of marriage in the Stuart literary world.
Date and time: Tuesday 10 March, 3-5pm
Location: Humanities Building 206-201
