Writing Under Tyranny: English Literature and the Henrician
Reformation spans the boundaries between literary studies and
history. It looks at the impact of tyrannical government on the
work of poets, playwrights, and prose writers of the early English
Renaissance. It shows the profound effects that political
oppression had on the literary production of the years from 1528 to
1547, and how English writers in turn strove to mitigate, redirect,
and finally resist that oppression. The result was the destruction
of a number of forms that had dominated the literary production of
late-medieval England, but also the creation of new forms that were
to dominate the writing of the following centuries. Paradoxically,
the tyranny of Henry VIII gave birth to many modes of writing now
seen to be characteristic of the English literary Renaissance.
