- Summary:
- This book reveals the significance of the Calvinist discourse of English Protestantism as a stimulus to literary creation. It also demonstrates how the clash of values between the long-standing Continental system and the Elizabethan religious settlement of 1559 prompted writers to use creative imitation as a means of exploring the problematical relationship between the two.
