Oxford University Press Pocket Maps and Public Poetry in the English
Book SynopsisKatarzyna Lecky explores how early modern British poets paid by the state adapted inclusive modes of nationhood charted by inexpensive, small-format maps. She explores chapbooks (''cheapbooks'') by Edmund Spenser, Samuel Daniel, Ben Jonson, William Davenant, and John Milton alongside the portable cartography circulating in the same retail print industry. Domestic pocket maps were designed for heavy use by a broad readership that included those on the fringes of literacy. The era''s de facto laureates all banked their success as writers appealing to this burgeoning market share by drawing the nation as the property of the commonwealth rather than the Crown.This book investigates the accessible world of small-format cartography as it emerges in the texts of the poets raised in the expansive public sphere in which pocket maps flourished. It works at the intersections of space, place, and national identity to reveal the geographical imaginary shaping the flourishing business of cheap print. Its placement of poetic economies within mainstream systems of trade also demonstrates how cartography and poetry worked together to mobilize average consumers as political agents. This everyday form of geographic poiesis was also a strong platform for poets writing for monarchs and magistrates when their visions of the nation ran counter to the interests of the government.Trade Reviewan impressive book ... This cogent and original book makes a signal contribution to our understanding of early modern print markets and publics. * David J.

Oxford University Press, USA Writing Under Tyranny English Literature and the Henrician Reformation
Book SynopsisWriting Under Tyranny is both a study of the birth of Renaissance literature in England and a history of the reign of Henry VIII told through and around the lives of its poets and writers. It shows how political tyranny prompted resistance in and through literature.Trade ReviewReview from previous edition Walker's readings invest the literature of the early sixteenth century with a complex political urgency that is more often associated with Elizabethan texts. This thoroughly researched and well-written book asks us to rethink the standard narrative of sixteenth-century literary history... For scholars in the fields of literature and history, Writing under Tyranny is destined to become a classic. * Journal of British Studies *A new book by Greg Walker... is a major event. * Reviews in History *... an exceptionally good book... will surely remain an important work * Lucy Wooding, English Historical Review *Walker's ability to invoke very specific points of reference in clarifying the contemporary significance of his texts is ... remarkable ... This is an important book, which deserves to have a profound influence upon the ways in which we understand the literature of the Henrician period. * Roderick J. Lyall, Cahiers Elisabethains *Walker gives voice to a fascinating dialogue between literature and politics... in a compelling work ... This is an actively engaging book, required reading for anyone interested in the relation between literature and politics, and a welcome addition to the ranks of intellectual history. * Alessandra Petrina, Renaissance Quarterly *Walker's strength is that he understands and engages intimately with the culture of a generation schooled in the rhetorical tradition... Walker is a most acute critic of the literature of an age when most published writers were active politicians and most politicians were writers. * Patrick Collinson, London Review of Books *... a monumental achievement that furthers our understanding of an area that Walker has done much to illuminate over the years. The careful and scrupulous analysis of a whole range of texts that deserve to be better known, and more meticulously read, has resulted in a serious, scholarly and, in places, profound work, well written throughout. * Andrew Hadfield, Times Literary Supplement *Table of Contents1.

Oxford University Press, USA On Shakespeare and Early Modern Literature Essays
Book SynopsisJohn Kerrigan is one of the foremost critics of English literature. This richly informed collection brings together his essays on such major figures as Sir Philip Sidney and Milton, but also less celebrated writers, including Thomas Carew and - in a new piece - William Drummond, to reconfigure the familiar and help extend the canon. Shakespeare looms large; his plays and poems, and his influence on Keats, are the subject of half the book. But themes and issues are pursued from the 1580s to the late Restoration. Kerrigan acutely reassesses the nature of early modern texts-their production and reconstruction by writers, printers, theatre companies, and readers-and their relationship with socio-political circumstance.This original and eloquent book shows what criticism can do when closely engaged with verbal fabric and form. Always alert to the scholarly and theoretical debates that have raged within literary studies, it concentrates on drawing out the distinctive qualities of poems and plays.Trade ReviewReview from previous edition Though elegantly written, Kerrigan's essays are densely argued and formidably erudite . . . The quality of Kerrigan's work sets a standard for others to aim at. * Neil Rhodes, Around the Globe *These essays consolidate Kerrigan's position as one of the outstanding scholars of the English Renaissance of his generation * E. A. J. Honigmann, Times Literary Supplement *Table of ContentsI: SHAKESPEARE; II: EARLY MODERN LITERATURE

Taylor & Francis Andrew Marvell Loss and aspiration home and
Book SynopsisThis monograph studies how, across the Folio of 1681, Marvell's poems engage not merely with different kinds of loss and aspiration, but with experiences of both that were, in mid-seventeenth-century England, disturbingly new and unfamiliar. It particularly examines Marvell's preoccupation with the search for home, and with redefining the homeland, in times of civil upheaval. In doing so it traces his progression from being a poet who plays sophisticatedly with received myth to being one who is a national mythmaker in rivalry with his poetic contemporaries such as Waller and Davenant. Although focusing primarily on poems in the Folio of 1681, this book considers those poems in relation to others from the Marvell canon, including the Latin poems and the satires from the reign of Charles II. It closely considers them as well in relation to verse by poets from the classical past and the European, especially English, present.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; The mower poems; Lovers, gardens, paradise: the nymph and the coy mistress; Lovers, gardens, paradise: Bermudas and The Garden; The religious verse; The royalist poems and An Horatian Ode; Home and homeland in Upon Appleton House, To My Lord Fairfax; Conclusion; Select bibliography; Index.
