The outstanding essays in this volume explore the interdependency of literature and history in seventeenthcentury England. The relation of text to society is examined both as theory and as practice. The theoretical essays explore writing, reading, and the emergence of the aesthetic as historical phenomena of the seventeenth century. Other contributions examine cultural and political practices that fashioned the patronage, representations of authority, the socialization of party politics, and fables of power. What is often separated as a distinct sphere of literature is returned to the contexts of other cultural and discursive practices. Using the shaping force of history on the imagination and the status of literature as historical evidence, the authors also claim the power of imaginative texts to mold as well as reflect history. Politics of Discourse not only increases our understanding of seventeenthcentury England but also advances the study of subjects of interest to cultural critics of all historical genre and canon, the interplay of institution and imagination, and the symbols of power.
