Om bidragsyterne

John Kerrigan was born and brought up in Liverpool, educated at Oxford, and now teaches at Cambridge. He has published extensively on early modern literature, especially Shakespeare, on Romantic poetry, and on contemporary writing. His edition of Shakespeare's Sonnets and A Lover's Complaint (1986, often reprinted) was widely acclaimed, and his study of Revenge Tragedy: Aeschylus to Armageddon (1996) won the Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism. In addition to editions and monographs, he has written numerous articles for the (London) Times Literary Supplement and the London Review of Books, and poetry reviews for 'little' magazines. Internationally prominent, he has lectured throughout Britain, Ireland, Europe and North America.

Review from previous edition Archipelagic English presents a rare and compelling combination of acute and extensive historical analysis with scrupulous and sensitive close reading

Philip Schwyzer, Textual Practice

This is a commanding, scholarly tome, and a hugely impressive achievement

Forum for Modern Language Studies

The geographical sophistication of Kerrigan's criticism...is a benchmark for all to aspire to and makes this an important book for historical geographers as well as critics

Robert Mayhew, Journal of Historical Geography

Se alle

brilliant...It gives superb new readings of well-familiar works such as Macbeth

Declan Kiberd, Irish Times

important and deeply researched... As a dense literary and political prehistory of the puzzles in national and cultural identity ... Archipelagic English can't be beaten

Michael Dobson, London Review of Books

His purpose, triumphantly achieved, is to review and ruminate on the variety of literary responses to the awkward conglomerate of the Stuart monarchy... [This is a] remarkable investigation.

Toby Barnard, Times Literary Supplement

A major work of scholarship and literary criticism that opens up numerous avenues for others to follow

Andrew Hadfield, Review of English Studies

Kerrigan is a scrupulous and careful scholar [who provides] subtle, informed explorations of key writers and text. ... Although this book will be too dense and learned ... for some general readers, it is an important one...

Nicholas Murray. The Independent.

Kerrigan has produced a vast, deeply researched book of challenging complexity that, in effect, attempts to found a new discipline...I admire Kerrigan's book as a critical tour de force

Graham Parry, The Guardian

both tour d'horizon and tour de force...no question, we will be using Kerrigan's book for a long time.

Derek Hirst, Journal of British Studies

prodigious...In its complexity, nuance, and scope, Archipelagic English is an exhilarating tour de force of comparative criticism. It not only realises, but exceeds, the intellectual ambitions of 'British' literary criticism, and does so more fully than any other book we now have or are likely to have any time soon.

David Baker, English Historical Review

[a] rich and remarkable study...packed with information and insight

David Norbrook, Literary Review

Seventeenth-century 'English Literature' has long been thought about in narrowly English terms. Archipelagic English corrects this by devolving anglophone writing, showing how much remarkable work was produced in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, and how preoccupied such English authors as Shakespeare, Milton, and Marvell were with the often fraught interactions between ethnic, religious, and national groups around the British-Irish archipelago. This book transforms our understanding of canonical texts from Macbeth to Defoe's Colonel Jack, but it also shows the significance of a whole series of authors (from William Drummond in Scotland to the Earl of Orrery in County Cork) who were prominent during their lifetimes but who have since become neglected because they do not fit the Anglocentric paradigm. With its European and imperial dimensions, and its close attention to the cultural make-up of early modern Britain and Ireland, Archipelagic English authoritatively engages with, questions, and develops the claim now made by historians that the crises of the seventeenth century stem from the instabilities of a state-system which, between 1603 and 1707, was multiple, mixed, and inclined to let local quarrels spiral into all-consuming conflict. This is a major, interdisciplinary contribution to literary and historical scholarship which is also set to influence present-day arguments about devolution, unionism, and nationalism in Britain and Ireland.

John Kerrigan's unique study of 17th-century anglophone literature explores remarkable work produced in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland and shows how preoccupied Shakespeare, Milton, and Marvell were with the interactions between the peoples of the British-Irish archipelago. This major book resets the terms of the debate for scholars of the period.
