Literature and Favoritism in Early Modern England [Buy it!] | Curtis Perry | USD 139.21 (Sun May 26 04:38:34 2024) | Choosebooks/ZVAB | AHA-BUCH GmbH | ISBN10: 0521854059, ISBN13: 9780521854054, [publisher: Cambridge University Press] Hardcover Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Using close analysis of literary texts, this study examines the ideological underpinnings of the heated controversies surrounding powerful royal favorites and the idea of favoritism in the late Elizabethan and early Stuart period. Perry argues that this controversy tells us a great deal about the constitutional thinking of the period, and also about the language of political dissent from the 1580s up to the civil wars of the 1640s. The book includes accessible readings of a wide range of fascinating and under-appreciated Renaissance plays. [Einbeck, Germany] [Publication Year: 2006] Show/Hide image |
