Description
Carnival and Literature in Early Modern England examines how elite and popular festive traditions shaped English Renaissance writing across dramatic and non-dramatic texts. Jennifer Vaught traces the sustained influence of festivals and rituals on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century playwrights and poets, revealing how Shakespeare, Spenser, Marlowe, Dekker, Jonson, Milton and Herrick drew upon seasonal customs and courtly celebrations in their works. Though historical records of rural, urban, and courtly festivals survive only in fragmented form, this scholarly analysis reconstructs their creative impact on Renaissance literature. The book provides essential insight into how carnival culture, performance traditions, and festive materials permeated the literary imagination of England's most celebrated writers, offering readers a fresh perspective on the intersection of popular culture and canonical texts during one of English literature's most transformative periods.
