"Colonial Virtue is the first study to focus on the role played by the virtue of temperance
in shaping ethical debates about early English colonialism. Kasey Evans tracks the
migration of ideas surrounding temperance from classical and humanist writings through
to sixteenth- and seventeenth-century applications, emphasizing the ways in which
they have transcended the vocabularies of geography and time ; Colonial Virtue offers
fresh insights into how English Renaissance writers used temperance as a privileged
lens through which to view New World morality and politically to justify colonial
practices in Virginia and the West Indies. Evans uses literary texts, including The
Fairie Queene and The Tempest, and sources such as sermons, dictionaries, and visual
artifacts, to navigate alliances between traditional semantics and post-colonial political
criticism. Beautifully written and deeply engaging, Colonial Virtue also models an
expansive methodology for literary studies through its close readings and rhetorical
analyses."--pub. desc
