, The literary market
 Refers to literature written with the primary goal of
making a profit
 Social classes in the literary market are divided into
 Higher class: writing in manuscript
 Lower class: writing to earn a living
 Lower classes often published their works in
print due to the availability of the book press,
which made mass production of books possible.
 Two Forms of Publication:
 Manuscript: Handwritten copies of literary works.
 Printed: Mass-produced copies using a printing press

 Different book formats:




 Full Sheet:
 A complete, uncut sheet of paper.
 Folio:
 A full sheet folded in half, creating two leaves (four
pages).
 Quarto:
 A folio folded in half, resulting in four leaves (eight
pages).
 Octavo:
 A quarto folded in half, producing eight leaves
(sixteen pages). It's considered portable and suitable
for poetry.
 Paper Production:

,  Paper was traditionally made from old rags

 Copyright and Censorship in History:
 Copyright, as we understand it today, did not exist in
the past.
 Instead of copyright, printers had control over the
right to print the works they sold, not the authors.

 Censorship was enforced, especially concerning
religious texts that did not align with the accepted
beliefs. The same bodies overseeing copyright often
handled censorship.



 Patronage:
 Patrons, individuals with wealth, played a crucial role
in supporting writers.
 Example: Wriothesley, mentioned as a patron
of Shakespeare, would have used his wealth to
provide financial support to the playwright.






,  English Literature in the Renaissance
 Italian influences and European influences
 High-class individuals who traveled to other countries
brought cultural influences back to England.
 Writers with multilingual abilities contributed to the
transfer of ideas across languages.
 English influences
 Rhetorical culture
 Rhetorical culture involves considerations of how language
sounds and is structured.
 English writers, influenced by classical education (Latin and
Greek studies), incorporated rhetorical elements into their
works, such as monologues and first-person perspectives.
 Form
 During the Renaissance, there was a conscious effort to
experiment with and refine literary forms. Writers sought
to express their ideas through well-crafted structures,
giving careful consideration to the arrangement of words
and themes.
 The sonnet, a 14-line poetic form, gained popularity during
this period.
 Elaborate, ornate style
 The Renaissance saw a shift towards a more ornate and
elaborate style of writing.
 Writers aimed to create works that were not only
intellectually stimulating but also aesthetically rich and
sophisticated.
 Vocality and musicality
 English poetry, rooted in music and song traditions evolved
from being sung to being read.
 The transition from sung to printed culture was significant
in the development of literature.

 Innovations of genre
