Provides comprehensive background material on the contexts in which early modern literary texts were produced and consumed.
Unlocks the distinctive social practices, economic structures and modes of behaviour that give texts of the period their meaning.
Offers richly contextualized readings of works within and beyond the canon, covering a span that stretches from Erasmus and More to Milton and Behn, covering all the key authors studied by undergraduates in between.
Written with great clarity and directness, and makes a lot of quite difficult recent theoretical thinking about the early modern period seem approachable for inexperienced students.
