Informationen zum Autor John Lee is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Bristol, UK. His work on Renaissance English literature has included a selection of Spenser's shorter poems and a monograph, Shakespeare and the Controversies of Self. Klappentext A Handbook of English Renaissance Literary Studies is a groundbreaking guide to the contemporary engagement with critical theory within the larger disciplinary area of Renaissance and Early Modern studies. Comprising of commissioned contributions from leading international scholars, it provides an overview of literary theory, beyond Shakespeare, focusing on most major figures, as well as some lesser-known writers of the period. This book represents an important first step in bridging the divide between the abundance of titles which explore applications of theory in Shakespeare studies, and the relative lack of such texts concerning English Literary Renaissance studies as a whole, which includes major figures such as Marlowe, Jonson, Donne, and Milton. The tripartite structure offers a map of the critical landscape so that students can appreciate the breadth of the work being done, along with an exploration of the ways in which the treatments of or approaches to key issues have changed over time. A Handbook of English Renaissance Literary Studies is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students of early modern and Renaissance English literature, as well as scholars in the field and related areas.
