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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eOHCREL\u003c\/em\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Cheney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198859163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198859161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.80d","brand":"Patrick Cheney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46110761943295,"sku":"9780198859161","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_359b2b98-17e2-43fd-a891-2ce5892899b6.jpg?v=1725469701","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-oxford-history-of-classical-patrick-cheney-9780198859161","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
