Inhaltsangabe

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.

Críticas:

"...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
