Taylor & Francis Ltd Archipelagic Identities Literature and Identity
Book SynopsisArchipelagic Identities explores the invention and interplay of national, regional and linguistic identities in the literatures of early modern Britain and Ireland. The volume includes innovative work by leading practitioners of British studies, and sheds new light on classic cases such as Edmund Spenser''s Irish experience, whilst also introducing less familiar writers and texts, such as Anne Dowriche''s The French Historie, William Browne''s Britannia Pastorals, William Richards'' Wallography, Anne Bradstreet''s ''Dialogue between Old England and New'', and the works of Gaelic bards and French Huguenot refugees. Foregrounding issues of gender, class and migratory identity which have not previously received significant attention in this field, Archipelagic Identities brings British studies into the mainstream of contemporary literary criticism.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; Philip Schwyzer; An uncertain union (a dialogue), David Baker and Willy Maley; Part I Looking for Britain: This pleasant and sceptred isle: insular fantasies of national identity in Anne Dowriche's The French Historie and William Shakespeare's Richard II, Kate Chedgzoy; Whose pastorals?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Romance for Sale in Early Modern England
Book SynopsisThe major claim made by this study is that early modern English prose fiction self-consciously invented a new form of literary culture in which professional writers created books to be printed and sold to anonymous readers. It further claims that this period''s narrative innovations emerged not solely from changes in early modern culture like print and the book market, but also from the rediscovery of a forgotten late classical text from North Africa, Heliodorus''s Aethiopian History. In making these claims, Steve Mentz provides a comprehensive historicist and formalist account of prose romance, the most important genre of Elizabethan fiction. He explores how authors and publishers of prose fiction in late sixteenth-century England produced books that combined traditional narrative forms with a dynamic new understanding of the relationship between text and audience. Though prose fiction would not dominate English literary culture until the eighteenth century, Mentz demonstrates that Trade Review'This learned study offers important new contexts for the prose romances”and authorial careers”of Sidney, Greene, Lodge, and Nashe. Mentz recovers a 'Heliodoran Moment' in the 1580s and 90s, vivid in its generic and rhetorical jostlings and vital in its implications for our histories of prose fiction, print culture, and the literary marketplace.' Professor William H. Sherman, University of York, UK 'This lively study offers original perspectives on two processes that have attracted growing critical attention: the emergence of print authorship, and the development of pre-novelistic fictions. Mentz compellingly argues that Elizabethan prose fiction was crucial to both processes, as Elizabethan writers sought models for their uncertain roles in the chance-driven narratives of Greek romance.' Lori Humphrey Newcomb, Associate Professor of English, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign '... engaging new study... this book is a valiant production, full of interesting detail, arresting in its novelty, comprehensive in the scope of the background reading, and worth the consideration of all students of early prose fiction.' Renaissance Quarterly ’... a rich, original and informative book which is a pleasure read: it should be essential reading for all those interested in the changing fashions of Renaissance prose romance.’ Early Modern Literary Studies ’... Mentz's study provides compelling new contexts for prose romance and for authorial careers. His study of how authors strove to situate themselves in their peritexts provides fresh insight into how popular romance sold itself.’ Journal of British Studies ’If nothing else, this book will remain a resource and point of reference for early modernists with an interest in Elizabethan prose fiction... Romance for Sale in Early Modern England represents a broad critical updating and reconsideration of the field of Elizabethan prose fiction, and it is timely as such. Many readers will welcome it.’Table of ContentsContents: Introduction: Why early modern fiction?; Early modern romance and the middlebrow reader; Heliodorus and early modern literary culture; Anti-epic traditions: Sidney's New Arcadia; Anti-epic traditions: Greene's romances; The Homer of women: Greene and the novella; Fictions of nostalgia: Lodge versus Greene; Dishonest romance: Greene and Nashe; Conclusion: Greene's ghosts and the middlebrow author; Bibliography; Index.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Imagination and Politics in SeventeenthCentury
Book SynopsisTodd Butler here proposes a new epistemology of early modern politics, one that sees-as did writers of the period-human thought as a precursor to political action. By focusing not on reason or the will but on the imagination, Butler uncovers a political culture in seventeenth-century England that is far more shifting and multi-polar than has been previously recognized. Pursuing the connection between individual thought and corporate political action, he also charts the existence of a discourse that grounds modern scholarly interests in the representational nature of early modern politics - its images, rituals and entertainment-within a language early moderns themselves used. Through analysis of a wide variety of seventeenth-century texts, including the writings of Francis Bacon and Thomas Hobbes, Caroline Court masques, and the poetry and prose of John Milton, he reveals a society deeply concerned with the fundamentally imaginative nature of politics. It is a strength of the study thaTrade Review'By focusing attention on processes through which beliefs and desires might be controlled through the use of words and images, Butler opens up a genuinely interdisciplinary investigation that ranges over philosophical texts, court masques and civil war pamphlets.' Malcolm Smuts, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA. 'Revisionist in the best sense of the word, Todd Butler’s study challenges long-standing stereotypes about the seventeenth-century’s hostility to the imagination, eloquently showing that even more than the Caroline court masquers, Bacon, Milton, and Hobbes made analyzing, defending, redefining, and shaping the popular imagination central to their political programs and ideals. A must-read for a wide range of specialists - literary, historical, cultural - in the period.' Catherine Gimelli Martin, University of Memphis, USA. ’Butler’s compelling book makes the reader better aware of how early modern rhetoricians, politicians, and playwrights understood and manipulated a population’s imagination.’ Journal of British Studies ’... a fresh and valuable contribution to existing studies, not only of seventeenth-century politics, but also the History of Ideas.’ Parergon ’With this insightful examination of the variegated functions and contemporary reception of the imagination, Butler has made a valuable, not least because highly original, contribution to ongoing debates about political authority and ideology in seventeenth-century England.’ Notes and Queries 'This is a dense book that looks at many minor or understudied works and synthesizes a great deal of scholarship. Nonetheless, the argument is clear, the bibliography is ample, and I learned a great deal I did not know about all four topics, from Bacon’s ideas about magic to the pamphlet wars of 1641-42.' Modern PhilologyTable of ContentsContents: Preface; Introduction: imagining the early modern mind; Bacon and the prudential imagination; The 'immaginacy' of the Caroline court masque; The politics of the Miltonic mind; Imagining the body politic: Hobbes and his critics; Conclusion: the mind, the law, and the political self; Bibliography; Index.
