Whether thinking about escaping from the pressures of real life or the development of a national form and consciousness, literary style or the advent and spread of the British Empire, the reality and idea of the pleasure garden was central to the development of English Renaissance literature, particularly the work of Sir Philip Sidney and Edmund Spenser. Jim Ellis has written an important book that helps us understand the nature of early modern English writing. --Andrew Hadfield, author of Lying in Early Modern English Culture: From the Oath of Supremacy to the Oath of Allegiance Author InformationJIM ELLIS is a professor of English and the director of the Calgary Institute for the Humanities at the University of Calgary.
