During the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, England grew
from a marginal to a major European power, established overseas
settlements, and negotiated the Protestant Reformation. The
population burgeoned and became increasingly urban. England also
saw the meteoric rise of commercial theatre in London, the creation
of a vigorous market for printed texts, and the emergence of
writing as a viable profession. Literacy rates exploded, and an
increasingly diverse audience encountered a profusion of new
textual forms. Media, and literary culture, transformed on a scale
that would not happen again until television and the Internet. The
twenty innovative contributions in Gathering Force: Early Modern
Literature in Transition, 1557-1623 trace ways that five different
genres both spurred and responded to change. Chapters explore
different facets of lyric poetry, romance, commercial drama,
masques and pageants, and non-narrative prose. Exciting and
accessible, this volume illuminates the dynamic relationships among
the period's social, political, and literary transformations.
