| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study focuses on the literary activities of John Leland and three other Tudor antiquaries who were engaged in the creation of a national literary tradition and the formation of a literary canon in the face of a massive historical change that threatened to obliterate England’s literary heritage in the age of Reformation. Through a critical analysis of the nationalistic humanism that lay at the heart of their literary enterprises, this study also reassesses the vision of English literary history that first took shape in Leland’s bio-bibliographical work and persisted through the Elizabethan era into the later decades of the eighteenth century, which saw the publication of Thomas Warton's "History of English Poetry."
