Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The Oxford Handbook of Restoration Literature begins by asking if there was a distinctive literature of the Restoration. For a long time, the answer seemed obvious: heroic drama, libertine comedy, scandalous lyrics, and the short but brilliant career of John Wilmot, earl of Rochester. Could there be an age when the coincidence of literary culture and political rule were any more obvious? But as this Handbook will remind us, some of the mostwonderful literature of this Restoration came from writers who had lived across the decades of turbulence and into an age when the Stuart kings returned, when the Church and House of Lords were restored, a world made safe forbishops and for the memory of divine right rule. Of course, these returns and restorations did not meet with uniform celebration. John Milton wrote his great epic poems not in quiet submission but in a kind of resistance to the dominant culture of the 1660s, and Andrew Marvell produced his most brilliant satiric verse by holding up a looking glass to court corruption and Anglican intolerance. So we begin with the most obvious conclusion: Restoration literature does and does not fit to thecategories that so long defined the late Stuart age. This book explores and contests, challenges and reimagines the experience embodied by the writing of the late Stuart world andinvites readers new to this world and those who have often read its literatures to the pleasures but as well to the challenges and discomforts of its texts. This books brings new critical perspectives to bear on classic texts, asks challenging new questions about the relations among science, politics, and literary writing, probes emerging genres like the diary and the comedy of manners, and re-reads the great literature of the age. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
