Uncovers the importance of popular literature in promoting and shaping medieval nostalgia in early modern England.

Recenzje

'In this smart, thoughtful, and important book … Harriet Phillips offers a welcome and rich expansion of early modern scholarship on nostalgia. As its subtitle suggests, this book challenges us to think critically about how early modern nostalgia could not only or exclusively commodify, but how it enabled collaboration and collective fantasy between writers and their readers and audiences.' Kristine Johanson, Modern Philology
