Publisher Synopsis
"A wonderful, bracing guide to Early Modern literature and culture. I admire Hattaway's deftness and skill at marking out the boundaries and illuminating what would otherwise lurk in the darkness." Stephen Greenblatt "A cliche-free zone, a most refreshing read for students as well as teachers." Sederi "Renaissance and Reformations is an extraordinary achievement: Michael Hattaway's compact study of Early Modern literature belies an astonishing command of the conditions of thought and writing that produced it and does so with an unusual citation of all forms and genres, major and minor and newly-discovered texts. As a result, he is able to take us into the imaginative processes of the time to show us the sheer pleasures these works held as no other study has done." Arthur F. Kinney, University of Massachusetts, Amherst "Sharp insights and fresh examples fill Michael Hattaway's welcome book. He enlightens new readers and those who thought they knew 'that foreign country, early modern England' - its high, low, middling culture, its performances and rulers and ruled. All become understandable and beguilingly strange in Hattaway's volume. He admirably 'asks "how" questions not "what" questions' and invites readers to think through ideas, texts, techniques, images, historical moments so they all become the reader's own." A. R. Braunmuller, University of California, Los Angeles "Put this on your reading-lists." Roger Pooley, Keele University Read more...
