This is the first comprehensive collection of English Renaissance literary criticism to appear for nearly a century. Brian Vickers has brought together a wide-ranging selection of texts, some well-known (such as Sir Philip Sidney's Apology for Poetry, the most brilliant critical essay of the whole Renaissance, here given complete), some little-known (Dudley North's account of Metaphysical poetry), and one being printed for the first time (John Ford's elegy on John Fletcher).
Industry Reviews
`English Renaissance Literary Criticism may well become the standard reference collection ... the greatest coup is John Ford's elegy on John Fletcher, discovered by the late Jeremy Maule and printed here for the first time.' Alastair Fowler, TLS 9/6/00. `In addition to the usual suspects (Spencer, Harvey, Sidney, Jonson, Milton, et al), he includes long selections from rhetoricians Wilson and Puttenham; several hard-to-find pieces; thoughtfully edited passages from Shakespeare, Chapman, and Champion; and John Ford's never-before-printed 'Elegy for John Fletcher'. What makes this selection so insightful and useful is Vicker's recognition of the rhetorical and prescriptive character of early modern English criticism.' N.Lukacher, Choice, Jul/Aug. 2000. `[one] of the most distinguished publications in Renaissance literary studies to have appeared in many years.' N.Lukacher, Choice, Jul/Aug. 2000.
