Items related to Literature, Satire and the Early Stuart State
Andrew McRae examines the relation between literature and politics at a pivotal moment in English history. He argues that the most influential and incisive political satire in this period may be found in manuscript libels, scurrilous pamphlets and a range of other material written and circulated under the threat of censorship. These are the unauthorised texts of early Stuart England. From his analysis of these texts, McRae argues that satire, as the pre-eminent literary mode of discrimination and stigmatisation, helped people make sense of the confusing political conditions of the early Stuart era. It did so partly through personal attacks and partly also through sophisticated interventions into ongoing political and ideological debates. In such forms satire provided resources through which contemporary writers could define new models of political identity and construct new discourses of dissent. This book wil be of interest to political and literary historians alike.

Review:
"...McRae excellently shows how satirical discourse defined and helped to create political divisions." SEL Studies in English Literature, Achsah Guibbory, Recent Studies in the English Renaissance
"...a wonderful book..." Seventeenth-Century News
"This is historically informed criticism that nonetheless retains a keen eye for the habits and patterns of teh words used by the writers it studies. By making available such an important body of primary materials for the study of politics, textuality and culture, Early Stuart Liberals open-handly extended an invitation to otehr researchers; Literature, Satire and the Early Stuart State will offer those new to that field not only a learned and approachable guide, but, beyond that, a model of how these texts interact with one another and the richly described cultures within which Mcrae situates them." Early Modern Literary Studies Tom Lockwood, University of Birmingham
