ABOUT THIS BOOK
"Leah Marcus's The Politics of Mirth: Jonson, Herrick, Milton, Marvell, and the Defense of Old Holiday Pastimes is a fascinating study of why James and Charles promoted some types of rural sport and festival and of how certain literary texts participated in promoting or critiquing royal policy. . . . Marcus provocatively links texts not often studied in conjunction with one another, and she provides strong and detailed readings of those texts."—Jean E. Howard See other books on: Early modern, 1500-1700 | Festivals | Jonson | Manners and customs in literature | Marcus, Leah S. See other titles from University of Chicago Press |
