| Abstract | "This volume convenes eight noted scholars with varied positions at the interface of formal and historical literary criticism. The editors' introduction-a far-reaching account of how both methods have intersected in studies of early modern English texts since the 1990s-is the first such survey in more than 15 years, making it invaluable to scholars entering this area. Three essays address foundational questions about genre, fictionality, and formlessness; five feature close readings of texts or passages ranging from the more canonical (Shakespeare, Herbert, Milton) to the less so (an official record of the 1604 Hampton Court Conference). For scholars and students alike, the book thus models a variety of ways both to conceptualize and to analyze the value of literature at the formal-historical interface. Encompassing drama, lyric, satirical and polemical prose, and metrical as well as rhetorical and logical forms, the collection closes with an afterword by theorist Caroline Levine"-- Provided by publisher. |
