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"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 English literature |yEarly modern, 1500-1700 |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Formalism (Literary analysis) 650 0 Historical criticism (Literature) 650 6 Formalisme (Littérature) |0(CaQQLa)201-0043669 650 6 Critique historique (Littérature) |0(CaQQLa)201-0139319 655 7 Literary criticism. |2lcgft 655 7 Essays. |2lcgft 655 7 Critiques littéraires. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 700 1 Moschovakis, Nicholas Rand, |d1969- |eeditor. 700 1 Paster, Gail Kern, |eeditor. 776 08 |iOnline version: |tNew essays on history and form in early modern English literature |dNew York, NY : Routledge, 2024 |z9781003368502 |w(DLC) 2024008047 830 0 Routledge studies in Renaissance literature and culture 910 |cC0402mon |d3110-07 |gYBP |h200717 914 (OCoLC)on1420449113 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20241106 |eprocessed |f1420449113 980 20795161 |f200717 |i170.00 |j139.40 |n40032450675 982 |cf |q32101114587874
