Condición: Sehr gut. 326 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - A very good and clean copy. - What is the relationship between the cultural artifacts of Renaissance England and the processes of production, ex- change, and accumulation through which they were brought into being? Pursuing this question, a group of distinguished scholars from both sides of the Atlantic exemplify a number of different approaches to the writing of cultural history. The nine essays collected here together provide a richly nuanced approach to the idea of cultural production. Whether portraits, relics, prison records, or literary texts, the artifacts discussed are considered in the light of such key factors in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century culture as the business of printing, the slave trade, trials for sodomy and witchcraft, new world colonization, and the intellectual legacy of eidetic metaphysics. Augmented by twenty-one illustrations, the chapters explore the literary implications of social conflict, as well as the ideological dimensions of a culture working through specific institutions to shape knowledge for public consumption.
