Summary: Experience and Insight
Review: The Pathology of the English Renaissance by Elizabeth Mazzola is a beautifully written study that illiminates the nature of experience during the English Renaissance and that elucidates the problematical ways in which it was understood and obscured by great writers of the period, from Spenser to Shakespeare. It is a signal achievement by a young scholar of prodigious intellect. Literary criticism raised to a high art!
