This easy-to-use Handbook offers readers a succinct overview of this complex period, guiding them through the principal literary works, figures and innovations of the time. Focusing on studying texts in context, Marshall Grossman explores the ways in which major works, including Hamlet, Paradise Lost and The Pilgrim’s Progress, both reflected and helped to shape the history of the time, while concise sections on topics such as the Gunpowder Plot and the Pamphlet Wars allow the reader to engage more fully with the central themes and preoccupations of the period. Concluding with a series of brief biographical profiles describing the life and works of the century’s most significant and influential writers, The Seventeenth-Century Literature Handbook is essential reading for anyone interested in British Literature across the civil war and restoration periods.Language: EnglishItem Height: 230mmItem Length: 155mmItem Width: 24mmItem Weight: 631gAuthor: Marshall GrossmanGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Wiley Blackwell Literature HandbooksCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
