The Oxford Handbook of the Bible in Early Modern England, c. 1530-1700: Oxford Handbooks

Editat de Kevin Killeen, Helen Smith, Rachel Judith Willie
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 aug 2015
The Bible was, by any measure, the most important book in early modern England. It preoccupied the scholarship of the era, and suffused the idioms of literature and speech. Political ideas rode on its interpretation and deployed its terms. It was intricately related to the project of natural philosophy. And it was central to daily life at all levels of society from parliamentarian to preacher, from the 'boy that driveth the plough', famously invoked by Tyndale, to women across the social scale. It circulated in texts ranging from elaborate folios to cheap catechisms; and it was mediated in numerous forms, as pictures, songs, and embroideries; and as proverbs, commonplaces, and quotations.Bringing together leading scholars from a range of fields, The Oxford Handbook of the Bible in Early Modern England, 1530-1700 explores how the scriptures served as a generative motor for ideas, and a resource for creative and political thought, as well as for domestic and devotional life.Sections tackle the knotty issues of translation, the rich range of early modern biblical scholarship, Bible dissemination and circulation, the changing political uses of the Bible, literary appropriations and responses, and the reception of the text across a range of contexts and media. Where existing scholarship focuses, typically, on Tyndale and the King James Bible of 1611, The Oxford Handbook of the Bible in England, 1530-1700 goes further, tracing the vibrant and shifting landscape of biblical culture in the two centuries following the Reformation.

Recenzii

This volume proves once again that much indeed remains to be explored and that reception history is king. The volume, with impressively little overlap with other English language volumes on the Bible in the period, presents a collection of useful and well-researched essays on the development of the Bible in England, with some attention to Scotland and Ireland... [T]his volume contains some of the best examples of the work that global contemporary literary critics, biblical scholars, and historians have produced.
[a] formidable and expensive volume the essays in this excellent collection are alert to the complexities and distinctive characteristics of the early modern period and its authors.
[a] splendid volume ... This handbook gives us the most far-reaching and detailed picture of the Bible in this place and period ever available ... [a] masterful collection of scholarly pieces on Englands early modern biblical culture. This is a treasure chest resource that more than repays careful and reflective study.
Reading a book such as this in its entirety is a rare pleasure ... this book provides a more nuanced and better grounded understanding of cultural and religious transformations in early modern England.
