"Why study Renaissance literature? Reading Class through Shakespeare, Donne, and Milton
examines six canonical Renaissance works to show that reading literature also means
reading class. Warley demonstrates that careful reading offers the best way to understand
social relations and in doing so he offers a detailed historical argument about what
class means in the seventeenth century. Drawing on a wide range of critics, from Erich
Auerbach to Jacques Rancière, from Cleanth Brooks to Theodor Adorno, from Raymond
Williams to Jacques Derrida, the book implicitly defends literary criticism. It reaffirms
six Renaissance poems and plays, including poems by Donne, Shakespeare's Hamlet, and
Milton's Paradise Lost, as the sophisticated and moving works of art that generations
of readers have loved. These accessible interpretations also offer exciting new directions
for the roles of art and criticism in the contemporary, post-industrial world"
