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. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aLiterature and history$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aHistoriography$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aRenaissance$zEngland$xHistoriography 606 $aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.) 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yElizabeth, 1558-1603$xHistoriography 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y18th century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory 615 0$aHistoriography$xHistory 615 0$aRenaissance$xHistoriography. 615 0$aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.) 676 $a942.05/5/072041 700 $aLynch$b Jack$g(John T.),$0997341 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828558703321 996 $aThe age of Elizabeth in the age of Johnson$94117287 997 $aUNINA
