Rethinking the Literary Baroque
John Donne and Baroque Allegory by Hugh Grady. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2017. Hardcover $105.00
Looking At and Through Pictures in Donne’s Lyrics
Is a picture something we look at or something we look through? Taken as the former, the picture’s materiality is paramount – its line, color and physical media inform our aesthetic response. Taken as the latter, however, the materiality of the picture is often subordinated to what it depicts: its subject or message. This dichotomy of the picture is at the root of Reformation debates over idolatry and iconoclasm, as traditional proponents of imag…

Beyond Materiality in Shakespeare Studies
“Materialism,” “materiality,” and “material culture” have become key terms in early modern studies and Shakespeare scholarship over the past two decades. Responding to perceived subjective shortcomings of the New Historicism and Cultural Materialism of the 1980s and early 90s, “new materialist” approaches have emerged in scholarship ranging from Book History and textual studies to affect theory and ecocriticism. This article reviews the debates o…

A Mirror for Magistrates and the Politics of the English Reformation, by Scott C. Lucas
Scott Lucas's study of the topical allusiveness of A Mirror for Magistrates provides a new lens through which to view the early modern literature of political council. Arguing against the standard interpretation that the Mirror offered a series of tragic parables relating commonplace Elizabethan beliefs about the causes of political downfall, Lucas seeks to establish that the Mirror narratives were a direct response on the part of evangelical Pro…

Patents, Pictures, and Patronage: John Day and the Tudor Book Trade
Elizabeth Evenden's study of the career and output of the Tudor printer John Day provides a welcome addition to the increasing body of scholarship on the early modern English book trade. Day is widely considered to have been the most important printer of the late Tudor period, though most of the scholarship dealing with his life and work has focused on his role in producing one book: John Foxe's Acts and Monuments. By detailing Day's early busine…

Ocular Proof: Archival Revelations and Aesthetic Response
A new materialism in literary and cultural criticism has regrounded much scholarly debate in the archive as a corrective to ahistorical theorizing. Often, in granting archival discoveries the evidentiary status of fact,historical criticism fails to attend to the difficulties surrounding the mediation of historical understanding by material things. In order to get at the thorny issues surrounding the material as an authorizing category in cultural…
