Writing the English Republic: Poetry, Rhetoric and Politics, 1627-1660 by David Norbrook
Requirements: PDF Reader, 20 MB
Overview: The English republic of the mid-17th century is traditionally viewed as an aberration in political and literary history. In this history of republican political culture, the author argues that the English republican imagination had deep roots in humanist literary culture, and that the triumph of Augustanism after 1660 marked a sharp reversal. Key texts by Marvell and Milton, including Paradise Lost, are set in the context of previously neglected writings by Edmund Waller, George Wither, Thomas May and many others, showing how writers re-imagined English political and literary culture without kingship. The text draws on extensive archival research, bringing to light exciting and neglected manuscript and printed sources.
