The aim of the volume is to make prose more visible as a subject and as a mode of writing. It covers a vast range of material vital for the understanding of the period: from jestbooks, newsbooks, and popular romance to the translation of the classics and the pioneering collections of scientific writing and travel writing; from diaries, tracts on witchcraft, and domestic conduct books to rhetorical treatises designed for a courtly audience; from little known works such as William Baldwins Beware the Cat, probably the first novel in English, to The Bible, The Book of Common Prayer and Richard Hookers eloquent statement of Anglican belief, The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. The work not only deals with the range and variety of the substance and types of English prose, but also analyses the forms and styles of writing adopted in the early modern period, ranging from the Euphuistic nature of prose fiction inaugurated by John Lylys mannered novel, to the aggressive polemic of the Marprelate controversy; from the scatological humour of comic writing to the careful modulations of the most significant sermons of the age; and from the pithy and concise English essays of Francis Bacon to the ornate and meandering style of John Florios translation of Montaignes famous collection. Each essay provides an overview as well as comment on key passages, and a select guide to further reading.</p>...1332910The Oxford Handbook of English Prose 1500-1640863959https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-oxford-handbook-of-english-prose-1500-1640-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/429537/4055819d-2461-4957-96c2-c9d63b8dbce4.jpg?v=638334783288000000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20139780191655074_W3siaWQiOiJmNWRhOTA0Ni03MTE1LTQ4YjAtYWQ1OS1iZjgyZmIxZTdhNjkiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjkwMywiZGlzY291bnQiOjkwLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjgxMywiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMDktMTZUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780191655074_pThe Oxford Handbook of English Prose 1500-1640 is the only current overview of early modern English prose writing.
