It focuses on the wide-ranging, complex and self-conscious uses of archaic linguistic and poetic style, analysing the uses to which writers put literary style in order to re-embody and reshape the past. Munro brings together scholarly conversations on temporality, memory and historiography, on the relationships between medieval and early modern literary cultures, on the workings of dramatic and poetic style, and on national history and identity. Neither pure anachronism nor pure nostalgia, the attempts of writers to reconstruct outmoded styles within their own works reveal a largely untold story about the workings of literary influence and tradition, the interactions between past and present, and the uncertain contours of English nationhood.English literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismEnglish languageEarly modern, 1500-1700StyleEnglish languageArchaismsEnglish languageStyleEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.English languageStyle.English languageArchaisms.English languageStyle.820.9/003Munro Lucy1481861UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910787767303321Archaic style in English literature, 1590-16743699125UNINA
