Autor P. Salzman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 aug 2014
Literature and Politics in the 1620s argues that literature during this decade was inextricably linked to politics, whether oppositional or authoritarian. A wide range of texts are analyzed, from Shakespeare's First Folio to Middleton's A Game At Chess, from romances and poetry to sermons, tracts and newsbooks.

Recenzii

“Future scholars will surely praise Salzman for identifying this particularly rich intersection of history and literature, and for implicitly calling for similar studies, for example, in James’s reign before the European crisis of 1618 and during the Republic and Protectorate. They will also applaud him for encouraging us to listen patiently for various political ‘counsells’ in literature, whispered or otherwise.” (Thomas Cogswell, Modern Philology, Vol. 114 (1), May, 2016)
“Paul Salzman, in Literature and Politics in the 1620s: ‘Whisper’d Counsells,’ examines the development of self-conscious political reading in the 1620s in a more standard account of literature and politics. … The book is an excellent resource for scholars and graduate students. It gives a comprehensive view of literature of the 1620s.” (Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, Vol. 56, 2016)
"...the book succeeds in its goal of 'offer[ing] a clear sense of what the decade's overall literary production was like' (p. 8) and demonstrates the richness and variety of that production. It provides a useful introduction to this fascinating decade and engaging overview of many of its key and less familiar texts." Review of English Studies
