John Paul Wolforth
reviewed John Dee : The Politics of Reading and Writing in the English Renaissance on September 06, 2011 John Dee
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the complexity of deep reading. This is a very interesting primer for understanding the Renaissance. It paints a very thorough picture of what it means to read Renaissance literature in terms of the reading practices, how readers in the middle ages were often dictated entire books during a university course, the intended audience of their works, and the politics of the times. It's also a really interesting look at the purely academic life of John Dee and it gives a level of reality to why and how he was able to do such incredible things.
