| Summary |
Focusing on Tudor prose fiction from Malory's Morte D'Arthur through the works of Sir Philip Sidney and Thomas Nashe, this study explores the concept of "collective agency" and the extensive impact it had on English Renaissance culture. Ultimately, author Joshua Phillips challenges standard accounts of literary history and periodization to offer a new way of theorizing the relation between collaboration and identity. |
