Using new theoretical perspectives and methodological tools, the volume offers exemplary close readings of canonical and less well-known texts from all significant genres between c. 1480 and 1660. Its systematic chapters address questions about editing Renaissance texts, the role of translation, theatre and drama, life-writing, science, travel and migration, and women as writers, readers and patrons. The book will be of particular interest to those wishing to expand their knowledge of the early modern period beyond Shakespeare UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110444889 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110444889 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110444889/original ER -
