Kerrigan's best credential is his capacity for close reading, exposition, and elaboration of implications drawn from key phrases in his texts ... a scholar's book.

... a volume that is more than the sum of its parts.

Sixteenth Century Journal

The ability to hold complicated detail in focus, and to draw the larger arguments, is remarkable; Kerrigan pulls off the trick of seeing both the wood and the trees.

Anyone with an interest in the period will enjoy these essays, and come away the richer for having read them.

Sixteenth Century Journal

All eleven essays repay reading or rereading, being distinguished by a combination of literary acumen and scholarship, as well as being lucid and well written.

Sixteenth Century Journal

These essays consolidate Kerrigan's position as one of the outstanding scholars of the English Renaissance of his generation

E. A. J. Honigmann, Times Literary Supplement

Though elegantly written, Kerrigan's essays are densely argued and formidably erudite ... The quality of Kerrigan's work sets a standard for others to aim at.

Neil Rhodes, Around the Globe

John Kerrigan is one of the foremost critics of English literature. This richly informed collection brings together his essays on such major figures as Sir Philip Sidney and Milton, but also less celebrated writers, including Thomas Carew and - in a new piece - William Drummond, to reconfigure the familiar and help extend the canon. Shakespeare looms large; his plays and poems, and his influence on Keats, are the subject of half the book. But themes and issues are pursued from the 1580s to the late Restoration. Kerrigan acutely reassesses the nature of early modern texts-their production and reconstruction by writers, printers, theatre companies, and readers-and their relationship with socio-political circumstance. This original and eloquent book shows what criticism can do when closely engaged with verbal fabric and form. Always alert to the scholarly and theoretical debates that have raged within literary studies, it concentrates on drawing out the distinctive qualities of poems and plays.

Subtle and illuminating essays by a leading critic, concentrating on Shakespeare but embracing both canonical and less familiar writers, from Sidney to Carew and Milton. Brings together essays no longer easily available with new work on William Drummond.
