Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. How did we first come to believe in a correspondence between writers' lives and their works? When did the person of the author--both as context and target of textual interpretation--come to matter so much to the way we read? This book traces the development of author centrism back to the scholarship of early Renaissance humanists. Working against allegoresis and other traditions of non-historicizing textual reception, they discovered the power of engaging ancientworks through the speculative reconstruction of writers' personalities and artistic motives. To trace the multi-lingual and eventually cross-cultural rise of reading for the author, this book presentsfour case studies of resolutely experimental texts by and about writers of high ambition in their respective generations: Lorenzo Valla on the forger of the Donation of Constantine, Erasmus on Saint Jerome, the poet George Gascoigne on himself, and Fulke Greville on Sir Philip Sidney. An opening methodological chapter and exhortative conclusion frame these four studies with accounts of the central lexicon--character, intention, ethos, persona--and the range of genre evidencethat contemporaries used to discern and articulate authorial character and purpose.Constellated throughout with examples from the works of major contemporaries including John Aubrey, John Hayward,Galileo, Machiavelli, and Shakespeare, this volume resurrects a vibrant culture of biographism continuous with modern popular practice and yet radically more nuanced in its strategic reliance on the explanatory power of probabilism and historical conjecture--the discursive middle ground now obscured from view by the post-Enlightenment binaries of truth and fiction, history and story, fact and fable. Studying texts by Lorenzo Valla, Erasmus, Saint Jerome, George Gascoigne, and Fulke Greville, this volume explores authorial character as an instrument of textual analysis in the scholarship of early Renaissance literature.
