Scholars, editors, historians, religious thinkers, linguists and literary critics of the period all defined themselves in relation to 'the last age' or 'the age of Elizabeth'. Seventeenth- and eighteenth-century thinkers reworked older historical schemes to suit their own needs, turning to the ages of Petrarch and Poliziano, Erasmus and Scaliger, Shakespeare, Spenser, and Queen Elizabeth to define their culture in contrast to the preceding age. They derived a powerful sense of modernity from the comparison, which proved essential to the constitution of a national character. This interdisciplinary study will be of interest to cultural as well as literary historians of the eighteenth century.English literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismTheory, etcLiterature and historyGreat BritainHistory18th centuryHistoriographyGreat BritainHistory18th centuryRenaissanceEnglandHistoriographyInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)Great BritainHistoryElizabeth, 1558-1603HistoriographyGreat BritainIntellectual life18th centuryEnglish literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etc.Literature and historyHistoryHistoriographyHistoryRenaissanceHistoriography.Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.)942.05/5/072041Lynch Jack(John T.),997341UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910450012703321The age of Elizabeth in the age of Johnson2483654UNINA
