The Sixteenth to the Seventeenth Century
View through CrossRef
This chapter explores some of the remarkable changes in literary style and substance that occur around the turn of the sixteenth to the seventeenth century. A period of immense religious anxiety and political volatility, the beginning of the seventeenth century is also marked by a change in monarchs when Elizabeth I dies in 1603. On close inspection, the turn of the seventeenth century appears to be not an arbitrary chronological demarcation but rather something of a watershed moment in the literary and political landscape of England, marking changes both seismic and glacial. The chapter analyses how the Elizabethan heritage of Petrarchan poetry becomes the seedbed for the metaphysical lyrics of the seventeenth century.
