| By judicious selection of texts by Ficino,
Pico, Erasmus, Luther, Gelli, James I and Milton, translated
where necessary, this volume aims to give the student of Renaissance
English literature a better understanding of the key ideas
in philosophy, politics and theology in the period 1450-1650.
The substantial introduction and detailed annotation are designed
to draw the student's attention to parallels with English
literary texts. Areas covered include Neoplatonism, humanism,
the monarchy, the Reformation and contemporary attitudes to
women. At a time when English Renaissance studies are becoming
closely involved with background material, this selection
should prove an invaluable reference work for the student. |
