It is now over twenty years since revisionist history began to
transform our understanding of early modern England. The debates
between revisionists and their critics goes on. But it has become a
sterile debate in which both sides are confined by an attenuated
conception of politics. Meanwhile scholars in other disciplines
have opened new approaches to the political culture of the English
Renaissance state, emphasising the importance of representations of
authority and reading plays, poems and portraits as texts of power.
Kevin Sharpe has been at the forefront of the dialogue between
historians and critics, and a leading exponent of interdisciplinary
approaches. In the essays collected here, and in an important new
remapping of the field, he revisits earlier debates and urges a
'cultural turn' that will refigure our understanding of the history
and politics of early modern England and the materials and methods
of our study.
