Companion, some eighty of the very best modern scholars, including Judith H. Anderson, Patrick Collinson, Alison Findlay, Germaine Greer, Malcolm Jones, Arthur F. Kinney, James Knowles, Arthur F. Marotti, Robert S. Miola, and Greg Walker, come together to offer an original and far–reaching assessment of English Renaissance literature and culture.

Sections are interspersed with new readings of key texts, both canonical and non–canonical, and are designed to exemplify aspects of the topics dealt with in the remaining chapters.
