This book, the first single volume to collate essays about
sixteenth and seventeenth century poetry, explores the remarkable
changes that have occurred in the interpretation of English
Renaissance poetry in the last twenty years. In the introduction
Cristina Malcolmson argues that recent critical approaches have
transformed traditional accounts of literary history by analysing
the role of poetry in nationalism, the changing associations of
poetry and class-status, and the rediscovered writings of women.
The collection represents many of the critical methodologies which
have contributed to these changes: new historicism, cultural
materialism, feminism, and an historically informed psychoanalytic
criticism. In particular, three diverse readings of Spenser's
'Bower of Bliss' canto illustrate the different approaches of
formalist close-reading, new historicist analysis of cultural
imperialism and feminist interpretations of the relation of gender
and power. The further reading section categorizes recent work
according to issues and critical approaches.
