Literary Culture in Early Modern England, 1630-1700 : Angles of Contingency  - Berlin/Boston  De Gruyter  2020  - 1 electronic resource (282 p.) <br/><br/> This book explores literary culture in England between 1630 and 1700, focusing on connections between material, epistemic, and political conditions of literary writing and reading. In a number of case studies and close readings, it presents the seventeenth century as a period of change that saw a fundamental shift towards a new cultural configuration: neoclassicism. This shift affected a wide array of social practices and institutions, from poetry to politics and from epistemology to civility. <br/><br/><br/>Creative Commons <br/><br/><label>Standard No.: </label>10.1515/9783110691375 <br/><br/><label>Subjects--Index Terms: </label>English literature
