This collection features the work of both established and up-and-coming
scholars in the UK and US, with contributors including Peter Goodrich,
Lorna Hutson, Erica Sheen and David Colclough studying the period of the
English Renaissance from the 1520s to the 1660s. This wide-ranging
study, working on the edge of new historicism as well as book history,
covers topics such as libel/slander and literary debate, legal textual
production, authorship and the politics of authorial attribution and
theatre and the law.
