Renaissance Sites Re-Visited

The following are some sites uncovered by the students in ENG402: The Sixteenth Century at Florida Southern College. This page was launched in January 2006.

This well organized website includes detailed discussion of diverse Elizabethan topics such as food, religion, money, language, fashion, raising children, education and so many others. The website is clear-cut and easy to navigate with no pop-ups. The site does not contain much in the way of 16th Century literature, but it provides simplified supplementary information about the history and culture of Elizabethan England that we miss from the textbook. The site might be useful to someone who wants to focus more on the culture or who don't know much about Elizabethan England.

Luminarium: Renaissance Literature

It includes sections on Medieval, Renaissance, and Seventeenth-century lit. It is maintained by Anniina Jokinen, a former English major at Temple University, who created the site to bring together literature and information from the periods. She has a search engine, a book store, and a long list of writers with information, literature, and essays and articles. She takes most of her information from the Norton Anthology, so it could make sort of a companion for class purposes. What I like most about the site is its use of audio, including readings of poems and period music on certain pages.

Nico: Copper Pots

This one was pretty unique. Gives some info about what Renaissance people ate and how they cooked it. Includes a few interesting (and kinda gross) recipes, too.

Early Modern Literary Studies: EMLS

This site is from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK, from their literary theory department. It is a journal comprised of articles relating to the early modern period and Renaissance period.

-Sarah Robertson

I thought the Website I sent about Early Modern Studies had a lot of free available articles on various issues. I obviously didn't read all of them.
I perused a few articles. The sources seem credible. I thought the site was lacking a broad search option, though.

Hertford College Alumni: William Tyndale (no longer available)

I was trying to find the date of publication of William Tyndale's Obedience of a Christian Man, which happens to be 1528 F.Y.I. I ran across the web-site that has a history of Tyndale and thought that it might be useful.
