Daily Beauty: A Reading of Bruni's Laudatio Florentinae Urbis
This article is a close reading of Leonardo Bruni’s panegyric for the city of Florence (1404). It expands the discussion of the Laudatio Florentinae Urbis beyond the political context in which it has mostly, through the influence of Hans Baron’s pioneering work, been considered. It reads the text as a powerful assertion of Renaissance Humanism in its most secular, world-affirming mode. In exploring the value structure of the text, it finds the di…

Writing and Political Engagement in Seventeenth-Century England
This volume, first published in 2000, focuses on the relationship between writing and public concerns in seventeenth-century England before, during and after the civil wars and revolution of the mid-century.

Resistant Structures. Particularity, Radicalism, and Renaissance Texts
This is an exciting book in the tradition of criticism which has come to be expected from Richard Strierthat is, a forceful mode combining polemical energies with genuinely serious scholarship.In his previous writing, particularly on the poetry of George Herbert, he has made significant interventions into the critical debate, always eager to fight a corner (especially that of the Calvinist Herbert) but backing up his discursive blows with the sup…
Religion, Literature, and Politics in Post-Reformation England, 1540–1688
This collection of essays by historians and literary scholars treats English history and culture from the Henrician Reformation to the Glorious Revolution as a single coherent period in which religion is a dominant element in political and cultural life. It seeks to explore the centrality of the religion-politics nexus for this whole period through examining a wide variety of literary and non-literary texts, from plays and poems to devotional tre…

Sanctifying the Aristocracy: "Devout Humanism" in François de Sales, John Donne, and George Herbert
Identity and Power in Tudor England: Stephen Greenblatt, Renaissance Self-Fashioning from More to Shakespeare
Stephen Greenblatt's Renaissance Self-Fashioning from More to Shakespeare (Chicago, 1980) is most provocative study of sixteenth-century English literature since C. S. Lewis's perverse and splendid volume in Oxford History (1954). Greenblatt's book both does and does not bear comparison with Lewis's, and his relation to his great forebear is not entirely a comfortable one. Greenblatt's is also most richly contextualized study of sixteenth-century…
Herbert and Tears
Various attempts have been made to relate poetry of Herbert to literary and devotional practices of Counter-Reformation. The most influential of these is certainly that of Louis Martz in The Poetry of Meditation. Martz relates Herbert's poetry in general to devout humanism of St. Franqois de Sales and correlates specific poems with specific devotional practices: To all Angels and Saints with devotion to Virgin, especially encouraged by Jesuits; M…
