Contributor Bio:  Tillyard, E M W fm.author_biographical_note1Contributor Bio:  Tillyard, Eustace M E. M. W Tillyard (sometime Master of Jesus College, Cambridge) is renowed for his many works on Shakespeare and Milton. He is credited with having put forward the theory that Elizabethan literature is not representative of a brief period of humanism between two outbreaks of protestantism, but rather representative of a theological bond in England that allowed for a continuation of the Medieval view of World Order.
