What is Autobiography and Authorship in Renaissance Verse (Early Modern Literature in History) about?

The advent of relatively cheap editions in the mid-16th century produced an explosion of verse, much of which represented the first person speaker as a version of the author. This book examines ways in which writers, often seeking advancement in their careers, harnessed verse for self-promotional purposes. Texts studied include a manuscript autobiography by Thomas Whythorne, printed verse by a woman, Isabella Whitney, travel and war narratives, as well as canonical texts by Spenser, Sidney, and Shakespeare. Review "Solidly researched and carefully prepared, this study will serve those interested in early modern literary production, history, and culture.--C.S.
