- This 368-page book explores the development of literary culture in England over the sixteenth-century as a whole and seeks to explain the relationship between the Reformation and the literary renaissance of the Elizabethan period. Its central theme is the ‘common’ in its double sense of something shared and something base, and it argues that making common the work of God is at the heart of the English Reformation just as making common the literature of antiquity and of early modern Europe is at the heart of the Renaissance. Its central question is ‘why was the Renaissance in England so late?’
