  Renaissance English poetry was closely involved with affairs of state: some poets held high office, others wrote to influence those in power and to sway an increasingly independent public opinion. In this revised edition, Norbrook offers an account of the issues that engaged the passions of such leading figures as Sir Philip Sidney and John Milton.
