The titular island is figured as both body and as England, thus merging religious, corporeal, devotional, and geo-national narratives. The present critical edition offers the first fresh editorial approach to the poem in over a century and situates the poem in its historical and critical contexts. Although the poem has often been regarded as a bizarre and fragmented curiosity, Johnathan H. Pope compellingly argues in favour of a more unified reading and understanding of the text as a whole, offering a newly-annotated edition that illuminates the text for both the Fletcher specialist and newcomer alike.Renaissance Society of America texts and studies series ;Volume 8.English poetryEarly modern, 1500-1700Poesía inglesaEdad ModernaEMBUSEnglish poetryPoesía inglesa821/.3Fletcher Phineas1582-1650203739Pope Johnathan H.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUGRBOOK9910823384403321The purple island, or, The isle of man2368987UNINA
