Analyzing popular texts such as chronicle summaries, abridgements of sacred epic, and abstracts of civil war debate, this book charts the efflorescence of an early modern epitome culture, and demonstrates its impact upon Edmund Spenser's "The Faerie Queene", Abraham Cowley's "Davideis", and John Milton's "Paradise Lost"
