Yet the conspicuously ambivalent attitude of these critics toward criticism-and the persistent fear that they would be misunderstood, marginalized, scapegoated, or otherwise "branded with the dignity of a critic"-suggest that the position of the critic in this period was uncertain. In Inventing the Critic in Renaissance England, William Russell reveals that the critics of the English Renaissance did not passively absorb their practice from continental and classical sources but actively invented it in response to a confluence of social and intellectual factors"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Criticism $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a English literature $y Early modern, 1500-1700 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Renaissance $z England. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015028.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210105035736.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7E4FF3621DA411EBAAA0CA112BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
