The turn into the twenty-first century is an appropriate time to take stock of the state of the field, and, as part of that stocktaking, the need arises to assess both where literary study of the early modern period has been and where it might desirably go. Hence, many of the essays in this collection look both backward and forward. They chart the changes in the field over the past half century, while also looking forward to more change in the future. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and history$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aLiterature and society$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xCivilization$y17th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y17th century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 676 $a820.9/004 701 $aPebworth$b Ted-Larry$0175148 701 $aSummers$b Claude J$0175147 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971623403321 996 $aFault lines and controversies in the study of seventeenth-century English literature$94472908 997 $aUNINA
