This project proposes a new way of reading literature: through the lens of something I refer to as speculative nostalgia. This concept both expands and refines the broader term of `nostalgia,' through an exploration of the author's use of elements of the past, historical or fictional, in an attempt to comment and critique on the current state of affairs within the society the author lives in while potentially proposing a way to synthesize a better future from the commentary and criticism. Speculative nostalgia, then, is a pedagogical tool for the artist.

520 $a This project proposes a new way of reading literature: through the lens of something I refer to as speculative nostalgia. This concept both expands and refines the broader term of `nostalgia,' through an exploration of the author's use of elements of the past, historical or fictional, in an attempt to comment and critique on the current state of affairs within the society the author lives in while potentially proposing a way to synthesize a better future from the commentary and criticism.

520 $a Speculative nostalgia can help an author's audience adjust, and even reconcile, the chaos in the world around them. In this project, I will reflect specifically the use of speculative nostalgia by the Renaissance author; through this exploration, I will reveal a period during the Renaissance when individualism grew out of the chaos of an uncertain future, and the lessons from dead, childless queens lived on through the kings who adopted their playwrights.
520 $a Going beyond concepts espoused by Historicism, I will reveal how the Renaissance author--specifically Shakespeare, though with some examination of his contemporaries, including Edmund Spenser and George Chapman--utilizes historical elements in ways which call attention to their use. By doing so, he calls on his audiences to see the reason for this this use of the past--and what it says about the present, or even the future.
