Comprising commissioned contributions from leading international scholars, it provides an overview of literary theory, beyond Shakespeare, focusing on most major figures, as well as some lesser-known writers of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book represents an important first step in bridging the divide between the abundance of titles which explore applications of theory in Shakespeare studies, and the relative lack of such texts concerning English Literary Renaissance studies as a whole, which includes major figures such as Marlowe, Jonson, Donne, and Milton. The tripartite structure offers a map of the critical landscape so that students can appreciate the breadth of the work being done, along with an exploration of the ways in which the treatments of or approaches to key issues have changed over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHandbook of English Renaissance Literary Studies \u003c\/i\u003eis must-reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of early modern and Renaissance English literature, as well as their instructors and advisors. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDivided into three main sections, “Conditions of Subjectivity,” “Spaces, Places, and Forms,” and “Practices and Theories,” \u003ci\u003eA Handbook of English Renaissance Literary Studies\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides an overview of theoretical work and the theoretical-informed competencies which are central to the teaching of English Renaissance literary studies beyond Shakespeare\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a map of the critical landscape of the field to provide students with an opportunity to appreciate the breadth of the work done\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures newly-commissioned essays in representative subject areas to offer a clear picture of the contemporary theoretically-engaged work in the field\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores the ways in which the treatments of or approaches to key issues have changed over time\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers examples of the ways in which the practice of a theoretically-engaged criticism may enrich the personal and professional lives of critics, and the culture in which such critical practice takes place\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e   \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Lee\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Bristol, UK.
