What is English Renaissance Literary Criticism about?

<p><P>This is the first comprehensive collection of English Renaissance literary criticism to appear for nearly a century. Brian Vickers has brought together a wide-ranging selection of texts, some well-known (such as Sir Philip Sidney's <b>Apology for Poetry</b>, the most brilliant critical essay of the whole Renaissance, here given complete), some little-known (Dudley North's account of Metaphysical poetry), and one being printed for the first time (John Ford's elegy on John Fletcher).</p><h3>The Times Literary Supplement - Alastair Fowler</h3><p>The index is admirably efficient as regards rhetorical figures and other brief entries....this excellent anthology can be recommended with very few reservations. Let us hope it will be followed by a second volume continuing the selection further into the seventeenth century.</p>
