Abstract
This collection of essays asserts the centrality of historical understanding in shaping critical vision. It explores the dynamic cultural, intellectual, and social processes that moulded literary writing in the Renaissance. Attentive to the complexities that we confront in our attempts to understand the past, the book explores important relations among literary form and material and imaginative culture which compel our attention in the twenty-first century. Addressing three crucial areas at the forefront of current academic inquiry – ‘Making Writing: Form, Rhetoric, and Print Culture’, ‘Shaping Communities: Textual Spaces, Mapping History’, and ‘Embodying Change: Psychic and Somatic Performances’ – it is relevant to all those who study and teach Renaissance literature, history, and culture. Contributors include Danielle Clarke, Andrew Hadfield, Margaret Healy, Thomas Healy, Bernhard Klein, Michelle O'Callaghan, Neil Rhodes, Jennifer Richards, Michael Schoenfeldt, William Sherman, Alan Stewart, and Susan Wiseman.
