Matthew C. Augustine

Aesthetics of contingency

Writing, politics, and culture in England, 1639-89

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A study of how literature responds to conditions of political uncertainty, this book rewrites much of what we thought we knew about civil war and Restoration literature. Rather than sparking a decisive break with the past, for many the seventeenth-centuryà â â s civil wars opened onto a resolutely indeterminate future. -- .
