Description

This latest addition to the Undergraduate Companion Series confirms that the literature of Renaissance England is alive and well in the new millennium, presenting undergraduate students with an abundance of important resources necessary for 21st-century literary research. The most authoritative, informative, and useful Web sites and print resources have been carefully selected to represent important writers of the English Renaissance, including figures in religion, philosophy, and political history who are not strictly literary, such as Thomas Hobbes and Queen Elizabeth I. In addition, this volume moves beyond the traditional canon, considering writers such as Aemilia Lanyer and Thomas Dekker alongside giants like Shakespeare, Milton, and Spenser. For each author you will find concise lists of the best Web sites and print resources, including biographies, criticisms, dictionaries, handbooks, indexes, concordances, journals, and bibliographies.
