About this Item

381 S. Good copy with slight signs of wear. --- This, the second volume of the Cresset Press Introductions to English Literature, covers the period from 1510-1688. The Introduction, consisting of about one-third of the book, deals with the literature of the period in all its forms, connecting it with the other arts and with contemporary philosophic and religious movements. The social and political back- ground of the period is indicated as fully as possible in the body of the Introduction, while the musical background is dealt with in a separate chapter by Professor Bruce Pattison. The remaining two-thirds of the book consist of a bibliography raisonnée, made up of lists of books, written in the period and recom- mended for reading, accompanied by short critical notes on the most important and characteristic of them. Lists of critical works relating to the period and covering the most recent scholarship are also included. --- CONTENTS: CHAPTER - - EDITOR'S PREFACE - - I RENAISSANCE AND REFORMATION - - II THE ELIZABETHANS - - III THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY - - IV LITERATURE AND MUSIC - - STUDENTS' GUIDE TO READING - - STUDENTS' GUIDE TO READING - - LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS - - RENAISSANCE AND REFORMATION - - I THE HUMANISTS - - II THE NEW POETRY UP TO THE ACCESSION OF ELIZABETH (1558) - - III THE PROTESTANT REFORMERS - - THE ELIZABETHANS - - IV EARLY ELIZABETHAN POETRY - - V THE TRANSLATORS - - VI CHRONICLES, ANTIQUARIAN WORKS AND VOYAGES - - CHAPTER - - VII LATER ELIZABETHAN POETRY - - VIII TUDOR DRAMA UP TO SHAKESPEARE - - IX ELIZABETHAN SECULAR PROSE - - X WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE - - XI ELIZABETHAN DIVINES - - THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY - - XII PHILOSOPHICAL WRITERS - - ???? ????PHYSICAL POETRY - - XIV THE LATER DRAMA UP TO THE CIVIL WAR - - XV SECULAR PROSE OF THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY - - XVI RELIGIOUS PROSE OF THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY - - XVII POETRY FROM CAREW TO OLDHAM - - XVIII JOHN MILTON - - XIX RESTORATION DRAMA - - XX JOHN DRYDEN - - INDEX.
