Imagining Death in Spenser and Milton assembles a collection of essays on the compelling topic of death in two monumental representatives of the early modern canon, Edmund Spenser and John Milton. The volume draws its impetus from the conviction that death is a central, yet curiously understudied, preoccupation for Spenser and Milton, contending that death--in all its early modern reformations and deformations--is an indispensable backdrop for any attempt to articulate the relationship between Spenser and Milton.
This book argues broadly that any historical narrative about
republicanism needs to place Marlowe at the front of its genealogy,
and that his interest in republican ideals is sustained from the
beginning to the end of his meteoric career. More specifically,
this study will nonetheless argue that it is difficult to discern a
clear republican form of government in Marlowe's works. What we can
discern is 'republican representation', the author's
representational foregrounding of his own republican frame of art.
This study is the first to situate the complex Marlowe corpus
within the context of the advent of English Republicanism.
