Summary:

This perceptive and illuminating study offers a stimulating, new approach to major aspects of late Renaissance literature that tend to be either misunderstood or neglected. It is an account and an analysis of the way in which English poetry in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries registers a new kind of attentiveness to the material world and unusually full awareness of the resources peculiar to language.
