Inventing Polemic examines the ways in which the new technology of
print and Reformation polemic together dramatically transformed the
literary culture of early modern England. Bringing together
important work in two distinct areas, the history of the book and
the history of religion, it gives an innovative account of the
formation of literary culture in Tudor-Stuart England. Each of the
central chapters of the book focuses on specific publishing events:
Foxe's Actes and Monuments, the Marprelate pamphlets, the first two
quartos of Hamlet, Donne's Pseudo-Martyr and The Anatomy of the
World, and Milton's Areopagitica. Lander also considers the way in
which subsequent understandings of literature and the literary were
shaped by a conscious and conspicuous rejection of polemic. This
study is an important reconsideration of some of the most
influential texts of early modern England, focusing on their
relation to the charged religious environment as it is reflected in
and shaped by the products of the emergent book trade.
