This study, originally published in 1983, assesses the importance of the prevailing religious climate to the work of several major writers, both in and out of sympathy with the contemporary protestantism. It is argued that the accepted view of the period as essentially 'Christian-Humanist' obscures the harsher aspects of a Calvinism which throws into relief the agonies of a writer like Donne, the acceptances of one like George Herbert.</Routledge revivals.English literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismChristianity and literatureProtestantism and literatureReformationEnglandGreat BritainIntellectual life16th centuryEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Christianity and literature.Protestantism and literature.Reformation820.9003820/.9/382Sinfield Alan132436MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910799946003321LITERATURE IN PROTESTANT ENGLAND 1560-1660442555UNINA
