In The Age of Elizabeth in the Age of Johnson, Jack Lynch explores
eighteenth-century British conceptions of the Renaissance, and the
historical, intellectual, and cultural uses to which the past was
put during the period. Scholars, editors, historians, religious
thinkers, linguists and literary critics of the period all defined
themselves in relation to 'the last age' or 'the age of Elizabeth'.
Seventeenth- and eighteenth-century thinkers reworked older
historical schemes to suit their own needs, turning to the ages of
Petrarch and Poliziano, Erasmus and Scaliger, Shakespeare, Spenser,
and Queen Elizabeth to define their culture in contrast to the
preceding age. They derived a powerful sense of modernity from the
comparison, which proved essential to the constitution of a
national character. This interdisciplinary study will be of
interest to cultural as well as literary historians of the
eighteenth century.
