The Oxford Handbook of TUdOR LITERATURE1485–1603Edited by Mike Pincombe, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, and Cathy Shrank,University of Sheffield

Awarded the sixteenth Century studies society’s Roland H. Bainton Prize for Reference Works 2010

‘The first major collection to survey literature from Henry vII to Elizabeth I, this book offers a wealth of information ... All the essays are of exceptionally high caliber.’ A. Castaldo, Choice

This is the first major collection of essays to look at the literature of the entire Tudor period. Those decades saw, amongst other things, the establishment of print culture and growth of a reading public; the self-conscious emergence of English as a literary language and determined creation of a native literary canon; the beginnings of English empire and the consolidation of a sense of nationhood. The forty-five chapters in The Oxford Handbook of Tudor Literature recover some of the distinctive voices of sixteenth-century writing, its energy, variety, and inventiveness. As well as essays on well-known writers, such as Philip Sidney or Thomas Wyatt, the volume contains the first extensive treatment in print of some of the Tudor era’s most original voices.

The Oxford Handbook of TUdOR dRAMA

Edited by Thomas Betteridge, Oxford Brookes University, and Greg Walker, University of Edinburgh

• Comprehensive coverage allows readers to understand the whole early history of drama in Britain• Attends to the quasi-dramatic forms—royal entries, processions, ceremonial masques, that were so central to Tudor culture, but are often neglected in accounts of the drama • The best established scholars in Europe and the US, coupled with rising stars in the field provide a single-volume guide to the best work in the field, its current state and future direction• The book is written throughout with readers in mind, offering a clear sense of why this material matters, and how one might think about it afresh, freed from the old stereotypes

This is the first comprehensive study of Tudor drama that sees the long 16th century from the accession of Henry Tudor to the death of Elizabeth as a whole, taking in the numinous drama of the ‘Mystery Plays’ and the early work of Shakespeare. It is an invaluable account of current scholarship and an introduction to the complexity of Tudor drama.

Edited by Gary Taylor, Florida State University, and Trish Thomas Henley, University of Cincinnati

• The largest and most ambitious collection of original criticism on Thomas Middleton—‘our other Shakespeare’—ever assembled • 36 new essays on Middleton’s comedies, tragedies, tragicomedies, history plays, masques, pageants, pamphlets, and poems • Wide range of critical approaches, including feminism, stylistics, ecocriticism, and performance studies

The Oxford Handbook of THE EARLy MOdERn sERMOn

Edited by Peter McCullough, Lincoln College, Oxford, Hugh Adlington, University of Birmingham, and Emma Rhatigan, University of Sheffield

• Crucial but never-before assembled documents of sermon theory, reception, and regulation are included as appendices • By bridging the Reformation and the Civil War, and giving specific treatment to sermons in Scotland, Ireland, Wales, the Handbook provides comprehensive coverage of the field

The Oxford Handbook of The Early Modern Sermon is the first book to survey this rich new field for both students and specialists. It is divided into sections devoted to sermon composition, delivery, and reception; sermons in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales; English Sermons, 1500 –1660; and English Sermons, 1660–1720. The twenty-five original essays it contains represent emerging areas of interest, including research on sermons in performance, pulpit censorship, preaching and ecclesiology, women and sermons, the social, economic, and literary history of sermons in manuscript and print, and non-elite preaching.

The Handbook also responds to the recently recognised need to extend thinking about the ‘early modern’ across the watershed of the civil wars and interregnum, on both sides of which sermons and preaching remained a potent instrument ofreligious politics and a literary form of central importance to British culture.

• Fifty newly commissioned essays from leading international scholars• Comprehensive treatment of every genre in which Donne wrote, including elegy, love lyric, sonnet, essay, satire, and sermon

The Oxford Handbook of John Donne introduces scholars to the history of Donne studies and explores the major critical debates affecting the reception of Donne from the 17th through to the 21st centuries. Though profoundly historical in its orientation, the Handbook is not a summary of existing knowledge but a resource that reveals patterns of literary and historical attention to Donne’s writings and the new directions that these patterns enable or obstruct. It considers prevailing assumptions about Donne, the significance and differentiation of the genres Donne uses, creates perspective on what is known about Donne’s life, and brings to bear on Donne studies some of the most stimulating and creative ideas developed in recent decades by historians of early modern England.

The Oxford Handbook of EdMUnd sPEnsER

Edited by Richard A. McCabe, University of Oxford

• Coverage of the entire Spenser canon• Illustrations demonstrate the enormous impact of Spenser on the visual arts

Written by a team of international experts, the forty-two essays in The Oxford Handbook of Edmund Spenser examine the entire canon of his work and the social and intellectual environments in which it was produced, providing new readings of the texts, extensive analysis of former criticism, and up-to-date bibliographies. The Handbook seeks to elucidate the circumstances in which the poetry and prose were written, presents a series of new readings of the canon informed by the most recent scholarship, and provides a detailed analysis of the linguistic, rhetorical, and stylistic skills that distinguish Spenser’s writing. It examines a wide range of subtexts, intertexts, and analogues thatcontextualise the works within the literary conventions, traditions, and genres upon which Spenser draws and not infrequently subverts and grapples with the issue of Spenser’s effect on succeeding generations of editors, writers, painters, and book-illustrators.

The Oxford Handbook of MOdERnIsMs

Edited by Peter Brooker, University of Sussex, Andrzej Gasiorek, University of Birmingham, Deborah Longworth, University of Birmingham, and Andrew Thacker, De Montfort University

An unparalleled resource containing over fifty essays, this Handbook updates and extends the scope and depth of previous synoptic guides, bringing together new approaches to the more obvious themes of modernist studies as well as new research on the variety of cultural, aesthetic, and geographical factors that were intrinsic to the creation of modernism. Two particularly innovative features of the Handbook are its focus upon the cross media and international character of modernism. A number of the essays examine visual culture and other media in order to delineate the aesthetic, intellectual, and cultural formations linking the innovations and experiments of literary modernism with work in other arts and media. Others seek to analyse how Anglo-American and European models were inflected in a different temporal frame and in quite distinct geographical contexts.
