Humanism and America / Andrew Fitzmaurice
Titre : Humanism and America : an intellectual history of English colonisation, 1500-1625 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Andrew Fitzmaurice, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge, UK : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2003 Importance : (X-216 p.) Présentation : couv. ill. en coul Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-03618-4 Note générale : Bibliogr. p. 195-207. Notes bibliogr. Index Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Renaissance humanism Great Britain Influence Right of conquest Moral aspect British colonies North America History 16th century England. Résumé : Humanism and America provides a major study of the impact of the Renaissance and Renaissance humanism upon the English colonization of America. The analysis is conducted through an interdisciplinary examination of a broad spectrum of writings on colonization, ranging from the works of Thomas More to those of the Virginia Company. Andrew Fitzmaurice shows that English expansion was profoundly neo-classical in inspiration, and he excavates the distinctively humanist tradition that informed some central issues of colonization: the motivations of wealth and profit, honour and glory; the nature of and possibilities for liberty; and the problems of just title, including the dispossession of native Americans. Dr Fitzmaurice presents a colonial tradition which, counter to received wisdom, is often hostile to profit, nervous of dispossession and desirous of liberty. Only in the final chapters does he chart the rise of an aggressive, acquisitive and possessive colonial ideology.

Titre : Introduction to Early Modern English Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Manfred Görlach, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 1991 Importance : (XXIX-456 p.) Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-31046-8 Note générale : Trad. de : "Einführung ins Frühneuenglische". - Réimpr. : 1993 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : English literature 17th century Anthologies English (language) 1500-1700 (early modern) Grammar 16th century Anthologies. Résumé : The period between 1500 and 1700 was the most decisive one in the formation of standard modern English, yet no really comprehensive account of Early Modern English has been available. Manfred Gorlach's Introduction to Early Modern English fills a very real need. It provides a thorough and linguistically informed synchronic description of Early Modern English, dealing with its varieties, with writing and orthography, phonetics and phonology, syntax and the lexicon, including sections on problems of language contact and the lexicographical tradition. In addition, it provides a valuable anthology of texts from a wide range of sources: the texts exemplify features from Early Modern English discussed in the main body of the book, and have also been effectively chosen so as to provide something of the cultural background to the processes of linguistic change of the period. This textbook is admirably suited to undergraduate courses, and will be welcomed by all students of English language and literature studying the Early Modern period. Note de contenu :
