Islam and Early Modern English Literature

"Romance was the preeminent narrative form through which medieval Christendom imagined its encounter with the world. But in the early modern period, religious wars and commercial and colonial expansion radically changed the terms of that encounter. This book traces the process through which Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, and others adapted, revised, or resisted romance, mapping a world of increasingly uncertain allegiances and affiliations."--Jacket.
