The Age of Elizabeth in the Age of JohnsonCambridge University Press, 2003 - 224 oldal In The Age of Elizabeth in the Age of Johnson, Jack Lynch explores eighteenth-century British conceptions of the Renaissance, and the historical, intellectual, and cultural uses to which the past was put during the period.

This interdisciplinary study will be of interest to cultural as well as literary historians of the eighteenth century. |
