The literary biography, or 'life of the poet', is vital to an understanding of the historical emergence of the author. Kevin Pask offers the first full-scale history of the cultural construction of literary authority in early modern England, and studies the early life-narratives of Chaucer, Sidney, Spenser, Donne and Milton.
