| Publisher Description: The expressive and literary capacities of post-Reformation English were largely shaped in response to the Bible. The interpretation of English Renaissance literature has often been dominated by secularist readings, as if imaginative literature necessarily represented a displacement of scriptural revelation. Reformation Hermeneutics and Literary Language in Early Modern England: Faith in the Language, by contrast, examines the convergence of biblical interpretation and English literature, from William Tyndale to John Donne, and argues that the groundwork for a newly authoritative literary tradition in early modern England is laid in the discourse of biblical hermeneutics. |
