Arts Elizabethan Entertainment Elizabethan and Jacobean Style by Timothy Mowl, X From the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558 to James I's death in 1625, a delayed renaissance swept through England, pervading the domestic architecture and interiors of the day and signalling the emergence of a peculiarly English style that has had a romantic appeal ever since. This magnificently illustrated book, now made available as a paperback, makes good use of specially commissioned photography to reveal the exuberance and wild imagination that characterize the architecture, furniture and interior decoration of the period. Controversially, Timothy Mowl argues that the 'Jacobethan' style represents the last outpouring of a truly native genius that was stifled by the dead hand of classicism. The vivid narrative places this achievement against the backdrop of a rich social and cultural life, when the theatre flourished, masques and entertainments proliferated, chivalry was revived and gardens were created as extensions to the house.
The Cambridge Companion to Ben Jonson by Richard Harp, Ben Jonson is, in many ways, the figure of greatest centrality to literary study of the Elizabethan and Jacobean period. He wrote in virtually every literary genre: in drama, comedy, tragedy and masque; in poetry, epigram, and lyric; in prose, literary criticism and English grammar. This Companion brings together leading scholars from both sides of the Atlantic to provide an accessible, up-to-date introduction to Jonson's life and works. It represents an invaluable guide to current critical perspectives, providing generous coverage not only of his plays but also his non dramatic works.
