Description: "In its exploration of drama, poetry, and prose, this collection of nine essays invites students, teachers, and scholars to re-think their evaluations of Shakespeare, Milton, Sidney, Jonson, and other British writers of the Early Modern period. Using a formalist approach, A Search for Meaning establishes new critical perspectives that are dependent on close readings of the text and current secondary research and which carefully consider reader's reactions."--Jacket.
