| | England |
 | | For England and the rest of Europe, the Death meant a startling decrease in labor and a subsequent rise in the value of labor. | | | The anti-clerical culture was not so much a theological or even a doctrinal culture—it was a moral and political culture in part forged out of the increasing role that all individuals were playing in English government. | | | This new anti-clerical culture led a number of theologians, writers, and poets in England to begin to speculate about the nature of society, government, economics and human institutions and to forge radically new ideas on all these fronts. |

| | EducationGuardian.co.uk Books Oral and Literate Culture in England, 1500-1700 |
| | This process of linguistic incorporation cannot be divorced from the wider trends of political centralization and educational advance which are such prominent features of life in Tudor and Stuart England. | | | Thanks to the influence of print culture and the cross-fertilization in European intellectual life during the Renaissance, English was enormously enriched and expanded by the infusion of words and phrases from other languages. | | | Part of the reason, as a chorus of commentators which included John Evelyn lamented, was the way in which religious zealots and mechanic preachers of the Civil War years had corrupted the mother tongue with cant jargon and provincial pronunciation. |

| | OUP: Oral and Literate Culture in England, 1500-1700: Fox |
| | This book explores the varied vernacular forms and rich oral traditions which were such a part of popular culture in early modern England. | | | Even at the beginning of the period, centuries of reciprocal infusion between complementary media had created a cultural repertoire which had long ceased to be purely oral. | | | 'Painstaking research in many types of sources enables Fox to tell us far more than we might have thought it possible to know about the permeation of text into popular culture and the contribution of oral tradition to publication and print.' -Times Literary Supplement |

| | Esty, J.: A Shrinking Island: Modernism and National Culture in England. |
| | The first comprehensive account of modernism and imperialism in England, A Shrinking Island tracks the joint eclipse of modernist aesthetics and British power from the literary experiments of the 1930s through the rise of cultural studies in the 1950s. | | | Mixing literary criticism with postcolonial theory, his account of London modernism's end-stages and after-lives provides a fresh take on major works while redrawing the lines between modernism and postmodernism. | | | Focusing on writing that converts the potential energy of the contracting British state into the language of insular integrity, he argues that an anthropological ethos of cultural holism came home to roost in late-imperial England. |
