About the AuthorDebora Kuller Shuger teaches in the Faculty of English at UCLA, and is also a member of UCLA's Center for Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century Studies.
Third Plebeian said Why does Amazon make me describe the plot of a critical study?. A classic in the field, but please, Amazon, the options "Predictable," "Some twists," and "Full of surprises" (when asked about how we'd "describe the plot of this book") are fine for fiction / novels, but don't readily apply to all books, especially scholarly
First published in 1990, Habits of Thought in the English Renaissance presaged an expanding and progressively more popular mode of inquiry in English Renaissance scholarship.. Shuger's approach also re-examines and re-legitimizes the investigation of the connections between religion and literature. Going against recent trends in English Renaissance studies, Deborah Shuger examines orthodox, rather than subversive, methods of thought in the English Renaissance. When attempting to globally divide ideas into orthodox and subversive categories, it is not always clear what precisely is subversive to the dominant ideology and vice versa. Instead of finding a monolithic, unified body of thought, she reveals a remarkably non-uniform 'orthodox' ideology containing a wide range of views
