Featuring twenty one newly-commissioned essays, "A Companion to the
Global Renaissance: English Literature and Culture in the Era of
Expansion" demonstrates how today's globalization is the result of
a complex and lengthy historical process that had its roots in
England's mercantile and cross-cultural interactions of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. An innovative collection that
interrogates the global paradigm of our period and offers a new
history of globalization by exploring its influences on English
culture and literature of the early modern period.Moves beyond
traditional notions of Renaissance history mainly as a revival of
antiquity and presents a new perspective on England's mercantile
and cross-cultural interactions with the New and Old Worlds of the
Americas, Africa, and the East, as well with Northern
Europe.Illustrates how twentieth-century globalization was the
result of a lengthy and complex historical process linked to the
emergence of capitalism and colonialismExplores vital topics such
as East-West relations and Islam; visual representations of
cultural 'others'; gender and race struggles within the new
economies and cultures; global drama on the cosmopolitan English
stage, and many more
