Opis

Juxtaposing two approaches to Renaissance literature, the 'religious turn' and the 'archipelagic turn', Region, Religion and English Renaissance Literature engages these two ways of interpreting early modern writing in a coherent dialogue. In its deliberate synthesis of these critical perspectives, the volume provides a fuller and deeper understanding of the regional and religious contexts of early modern literature.
