It argues that the division of creeds and churches in the late Reformation precipitated a crisis in Elizabethan poetics, and that the creation of a poetry able to articulate to the pressures of doctrinal profession marked an important pre-condition for the emergence of a professional authorship in early modern England.	cache/02870v8519t.txt	txt/02870v8519t.txt
