Through close readings centered on works by Thomas Elyot, Philip Sidney and Edmund Spenser, Matz argues that literature attempted to mediate a complex set of contradictory social expectations. His original study engages with important theoretical work such as Pierre Bourdieu's and offers a substantial critique of New Historicist theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51942346129696,"sku":"NEW052103518X","price":76.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/defending-literature-in-early-modern-england-renaissance-literary-theory-in-social-context-cambridge-studies-in-renaissance-literature-and-culture-series-number-37-052103518x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
