This hefty second volume of the OHCREL, a massive project under the general editorship of David Hopkins and Charles Martindale, follows publication of volume 3 in 2012, and comes in close company with Volumes 1 and 4, all published in 2015-16. Cheney and Hardie’s remit is the English Renaissance, respecting a conventional periodicity as do all in the series: Volume 1 treats canonical mediaeval England (800-1558), while Volumes 3 and 4 cover respectively the long Eighteenth Century (1660-1790) and the high Romanticism through Victorianism of 1790-1880. Like the others, this book is full of stimulating material contributed by scholars from English Studies and Classics, the former outnumbering the latter. In a few instances inexperience on the classical side is evident, and there are, as would almost have to be the case, weaker as well as stronger contributions. But by far the majority of these chapters are substantial and enlightening; no one remotely interested in the reception of classical literature and ideas in the English Renaissance should be without access to this book.

The Oxford History of Classical Reception (OHCREL) is designed to offer a comprehensive investigation of the numerous and diverse ways in which literary texts of the classical world have stimulated responses and refashioning by English writers. Covering the full range of English literaturefrom the early Middle Ages to the present day, OHCREL both synthesizes existing scholarship and presents cutting-edge new research, employing an international team of expert contributors for each of the five volumes.OHCREL endeavours to interrogate, rather than inertly reiterate, conventional assumptions about literary "periods", the processes of canon-formation, and the relations between literary and non-literary discourse. It conceives of 'reception' as a complex process of dialogic exchange and, rather thanoffering large cultural generalizations, it engages in close critical analysis of literary texts. It explores in detail the ways in which English writers' engagement with classical literature casts as much light on the classical originals as it does on the English writers' own cultural context.This second volume covers the years 1558-1660, and explores the reception of the ancient genres and authors in English Renaissance literature, engaging with the major, and many of the minor, writers of the period, including Shakespeare, Marlowe, Spenser, and Jonson. Separate chapters examine theRenaissance institutions and contexts which shape the reception of antiquity, and an annotated bibliography provides substantial material for further reading.
