The Oxford History of Classical Reception (OHCREL) is designed to
offer a comprehensive investigation of the numerous and diverse
ways in which literary texts of the classical world have stimulated
responses and refashioning by English writers. Covering the full
range of English literature from the early Middle Ages to the
present day, OHCREL both synthesizes existing scholarship and
presents cutting-edge new research, employing an international team
of expert contributors for each of the five volumes. OHCREL
endeavours to interrogate, rather than inertly reiterate,
conventional assumptions about literary 'periods', the processes of
canon-formation, and the relations between literary and
non-literary discourse. It conceives of 'reception' as a complex
process of dialogic exchange and, rather than offering large
cultural generalizations, it engages in close critical analysis of
literary texts. It explores in detail the ways in which English
writers' engagement with classical literature casts as much light
on the classical originals as it does on the English writers' own
cultural context. This second volume covers the years 1558-1660,
and explores the reception of the ancient genres and authors in
English Renaissance literature, engaging with the major, and many
of the minor, writers of the period, including Shakespeare,
Marlowe, Spenser, and Jonson. Separate chapters examine the
Renaissance institutions and contexts which shape the reception of
antiquity, and an annotated bibliography provides substantial
material for further reading.
