It takes writing by Thomas Hobbes, Leonard Wheatcroft, Margaret Cavendish, Richard Andrews, Ben Jonson and others to ask both whether there is material that allows us to reconsider the way we understand the production and consumption of topographical and landscape writing in seventeenth century England, and to build on that to ask about possibilities for a fuller integration of the texts of non-elite literacy into ur consideration of literature, Renaissance and writing.About the Speaker:Sue Wiseman’s research interests are in Renaissance and seventeenth-century writing and culture.
