Publisher Synopsis
By performing theorized, rigorously researched, intertextual study so consistently, chapter by chapter, with coherence across its parts (if not always overtly within them), Shakespeare and Donne: Generic Hybrids and the Cultural Imaginary is a model for how one might attempt such dialogues between other writers-howto place their works side by side in ways that illuminate the authors; the period(s)in which they are writing; the various genres, modes, and literary devices theyemploy; and the theoretical lenses that one might use to derive meaning from such a pairing. * -Shakespeare Quarterly * Because of the compartmentalization of literary criticism, we have been largely blind to the many points of intellectual and artistic contact between the two greatest English love poets of the later sixteenth- and early seventeenth centuries, Shakespeare and Donne. This remarkable collection of highly original essays changes that. It also changes the field of English Renaissance studies.----Gordon Teskey, Harvard University Read more...
