Summary/Abstract: Structured into four chronological tiers, which correspond to the main chapters of the book (the Late Renaissance, the Resto-ration, the Augustan Age and the Age of Sen-sibility), Ioana Mohor-Ivan’s systematic survey of literature produced in the British Isles over the course of the 17th and the 18th centuries is more than a university course: it is an attempt at providing not only students of English, but also broader categories of readers with insights into the rich po-tential for signification that these poetic, fictional and dramatic texts of the past activate when they are examined through the (critical) lens of the present.
