Laurie Ellinghausen

Labor and Writing in Early Modern England, 1567¿1667

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The author analyzes how the concept of labor as a calling, which was assisted by early modern experiments in democracy, print, and Protestant religion, had a lasting effect on the history of authorship as a profession. In so doing, she reveals the construction of an approach to early modern authorship that values diligence.
