This exciting volume of essays reassesses and reasserts the centrality of preaching in early modern English culture. Showcasing the work of established experts and scholars in the fields of English literature, history and religious studies, it offers a retrospective review of how sermons have figured in past scholarship and teaching, and points to new ways to study sermons as literary artifact and historical evidence. The interdisciplinary group of contributors demonstrate the pertinence of sermons to a new generation of Renaissance literary studies.
