Bibliography
Kevin De Ornellas is lecturer of English Renaissance Literature at University of Ulster, Coleraine.
Each chapter contains a wealth of contextual and textual
references, and De Ornellas characteristically moves across a
variety of forms of writing and historical evidence. . . .There is
analysis in each chapter that illuminates the main texts considered
(the reading of Shirley’s Hide Park is particularly successful and
stimulating) and that enables greater understanding of the
importance of horse talk.
