Edmund Spenser's innovative poetic works have a central place in the canon of English literature. Yet he is remembered as a morally flawed, self-interested sycophant; complicit in England's ruthless colonisation of Ireland; in Karl Marx's words, 'Elizabeth's arse-kissing poet'-- a man on the make who aspired to be at court and who was prepared to exploit the Irish to get what he wanted.
In his vibrant and vivid book, the first biography of the poet for 60 years, Andrew Hadfield finds a more complex and subtle Spenser. How did a man who seemed destined to become a priest or a don become... Edmund Spenser's innovative poetic works have a central place in the canon of English literature.

Edmund Spenser's Irish Experience: Wilde Fruit and Salvage Soyl
ISBN: 9780198183457 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Spenser's Irish Experience is the first sustained critical work to argue that Edmund Spenser's perception and fragmented representation of Ireland shadows the whole narrative of his major work, The Faerie Queene. The poem has often been read in specifically English contexts but, as Hadfield argues, demands to be read in terms of England's expanding colonial hegemony within the British Isles and the ensuing fear that such national ambition would actually lead to the destruction of England's post-Reformation legacy. Where A View of the Present State of Ireland attempts to provide a violent...

Lying in Early Modern English Culture: From the Oath of Supremacy to the Oath of Allegiance
ISBN: 9780198789468 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Lying in Early Modern English Culture is a major study of ideas of truth and falsehood in early modern England from the advent of the Reformation to the aftermath of the failed Gunpowder Plot. The period is characterised by panic and chaos when few had any idea how religious, cultural, and social life would develop after the traumatic division of Christendom. While many saw the need for a secular power to define the truth others declared that their allegiances belonged elsewhere. Accordingly there was a constant battle between competing authorities for the right to declare what was...

Shakespeare and Republicanism
ISBN: 9780521718004 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Andrew Hadfield reveals for the first time exactly how Shakespeare was influenced by contemporary strands in political thought critical of the English crown. Although he was often seen as a conservative political thinker characterized by an over-riding fear of the 'mob', Hadfield argues that Shakespeare's writing actually emerged out of an intellectual milieu fascinated by republican ideas. From the 1590s onwards, he explored republican themes in his poetry and plays: political assassination, elected government, alternative constitutions, and, perhaps most importantly of all, the problem of...

Shakespeare, Spenser and the Matter of Britain
ISBN: 9780333993132 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Shakespeare, Spencer and the Matter of Britain examines the work of two of the most important English Renaissance authors in terms of the cultural, social and political contexts of early modern Britain. Andrew Hadfield demonstrates that the poetry of Edmund Spenser and the plays of William Shakespeare demand to be read in terms of an expanding Elizabethan and Jacobean culture in which a dominant English identity had to come to terms with the Irish, Scots and Welsh who were now also subjects of the crown.

Were Early Modern Lives Different?: Writing the Self in the Renaissance
ISBN: 9780415824491 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Should we assume that people who lived some time ago were quite similar to us or should we assume that they need to be thought of as alien beings with whom we have little in common? This specially commissioned collection explores this important issue through an analysis of the lives and work of a number of significant early modern writers. Shakespeare is analysed in a number of essays as authors ask whether we can learn anything about his life from reading the Sonnets and Hamlet. Other essays explore the first substantial autobiography in English, that of the musician and poet, Thomas...

Literature, Travel, and Colonial Writing in the English Renaissance, 1545-1625
ISBN: 9780199233656 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What was the purpose of representing foreign lands for writers in the English Renaissance? This innovative and wide-ranging study argues that writers often used their works as vehicles to reflect on the state of contemporary English politics, particularly their own lack of representation in public institutions. Sometimes such analyses took the form of displaced allegories, whereby writers contrasted the advantages enjoyed, or disadvantages suffered, by foreign subjects with the political conditions of Tudor and Stuart England. Elsewhere, more often in explicitly colonial writings, authors...
