Continuum's "Introductions to British Literature and Culture"
series provide practical guides to key literary periods. Guides in
the series help to orientate students as they begin a new module or
area of study, providing concise information on the historical,
cultural, literary and critical context and acting as an initial
map of the knowledge needed to study the literature and culture of
a specific period. Each guide includes an overview of the
historical period, intellectual contexts, major genres, critical
approaches and a guide to original research and resource materials
in the area, enabling students to progress confidently to further
study. The guide to Seventeenth Century Literature and Culture
provides students with the ideal introduction to literature and its
context from 1603-1688, including: the historical, cultural and
intellectual background including religion, politics and culture
during the Civil War, Commonwealth and Restoration; major writers
and genres including John Donne, George Herbert, Andrew Marvell and
John Milton - concise explanations of key terms needed to
understand the literature and criticism; key critical approaches
from the eighteenth century to the present; and, a chronology
mapping historical events and literary works and further reading
including websites and electronic resources.
