Beschreibung
"Kathy Eden explores the intersection of early modern literary theory and practice. She considers the rebirth of the rhetorical art-resulting from the rediscovery of complete manuscripts of high-profile ancient texts about rhetoric by Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Quintilian, and Tacitus, all unavailable before the early fifteenth century-and the impact of this art on early modern European literary production. This profound influence of key principles and practices on the most widely taught early modern literary texts remains largely and surprisingly unexplored. Devoting four chapters to these practices-on status, refutation, similitude, and style-Eden connects the architecture of the most widely read classical rhetorical manuals to the structures of such major Renaissance works as Petrarch's Secret, Castiglione's Book of the Courtier, Erasmus's Antibarbarians and Ciceronianus, and Montaigne's Essays. Eden concludes by showing how these rhetorical practices were understood to work together to form a literary masterwork, with important implications for how we read these texts today"--
