Kasey Evans (Ph.D. University of California, Berkeley) teaches and writes about medieval and Renaissance literature, especially narrative poetry. She is currently working on a book about changing representations of temperance in Renaissance literature, where the virtue is transformed from a broad concept of moderation to a specifically pre-capitalist notion of time-management. Her forthcoming publications include articles on allegory and personification; scenes of misreading in Shakespearean drama; and New World slavery in Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene. Areas of particular interest include English Renaissance adaptations of Italian poetry (Dante, Ariosto, Tasso); ideologies of race, gender, and sexuality as they shape Renaissance English literature; and literary and critical theory, from medieval exegetes through postmodern philosophers.
