Perception of Moors in Elizabethan England
Bielková, Andrea ; Klusáková, Luďa (advisor) ; Křížová, Markéta (referee)
The thesis focuses on the perception of African population in Elizabethan England. It attempts to clarify the social context and environment in which the image of an African - a dark-skinned individual - emerged and developed. The main questions the thesis aspires to answer are as follows: what social phenomena had crucial impact on the formation and transformation of the image of the Other, and what form did the image resulting from these took upon; if and how were these factors reflected in the popular culture. The main sources for the analysis are primarily travel literature and theatre production of the Elizabethan period. Key words: Elizabeth I; Moors; Negroes; travel literature; George Best; Richard Hakluyt; Elizabethan drama; Othello; The Merchant of Venice; Battle of Alcazar; Lust's Dominion; Titus Andronicus; Morocco; Berbery
