The Literature in Renaissance England by Hollander

The Literature in Renaissance England by Hollander

This volume includes works by Spenser (excerpts from all books of The Faerie Queene), Shakespeare (including The Tempest), Marlowe (Dr. Faustus, Hero and Leander), Donne, and Milton (Comus, Samson Agonistes, and long excerpts from Paradise Lost).

"Wonderful selections! Very thoroughI like this text best of the ones I have seen."--Paul Sheneman, Belhaven College "A rich selection--full of further examples of practically every point I wish to nudge my students toward. I have used the book often since it first appeared."--William P. Keen, Washington and Jefferson College "I have ordered this book as the text for my course [on] the Renaissance World. I don't think it has a viable competition: Norton's 'The Golden Hind' is not as good and costs twice as much in hardback, and it doesn't have Spenser's Mutability Cantos. I realize this has been around for a while, but keep it in print."--Harry Keyishian, Farleigh Dickinson University "Very wide range of coverage."--Joyce G. MacDonald, University of Kentucky "Comprehensive....The best anthology I know of."--Jim Kerbaugh, Illinois College "One of the few remaining comprehensive anthologies of English Rennaissance literature available at a reasonable price. The editorial matter is sound and authoritative; the selections are both wide-ranging and well chosen; and the pictures and illustrations are delightful."--John B. Brooks, University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh "Very fine anthology.... The reprints are wonderful."-- Michael L. Storex, College of Notre Dame, Baltimore "This book amply replaces the old Rollins text for Renaissance classes. It is full enough that it can be used without supplements except for drama."--Richard B. Weir, The King's College

JOHN HOLLANDER is the author of more than a dozen books of poetry. His first, A Crackling of Thorns, was chosen by W. H. Auden as the 1958 volume in the Yale Series of Younger Poets. He wrote eight books of criticism, including the award-winning Rhyme's Reason: A Guide to English Verse and The Work of Poetry, and edited or coedited twenty-two collections, among them The Oxford Anthology of English Literature, American Poetry: The Nineteenth Century, and (with Anthony Hecht, with whom he shared the Bollingen Prize in Poetry in 1983) Jiggery-Pokery: A Compendium of Double Dactyls.

Mr. Hollander attended Columbia and Indiana Universities and was a Junior Fellow of the Society of Fellows of Harvard University. He taught at Connecticut College and Yale, and was a professor of English at Hunter College and the Graduate Center, CUNY. In 1990 he received a MacArthur Fellowship. He died in August 2013.
