Sidney and Spenser
Author: S. K. Heninger
Publisher: Penn State University Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 672
Book Description
Sidney and Spenser reached their artistic maturity as the 1580s began. While they responded in individualistic ways to the cultural formation then prevailing, they set the course of literature in England for centuries to come. With these poets, allegory transmutes to fiction. Heninger's study is concerned centrally with this transformation, and with the historical circumstances that encouraged and sustained it. For English writers this change was largely effected by the adoption of Aristotelian imitation as the quiddity of the poetical art. As its distinctive feature, poetry no longer reflects heavenly beauty or echoes cosmic harmony-it isn't rhyming and versing that make a poet, Sidney says. Instead, literature becomes a depictive art, a narrative with semantic content. The new poetry created "speaking pictures," and it acquired this ability to address simultaneously both ear and eye by virtue of its medium. Language allows poetry to display aural and visual properties, allying it with music on the one hand and with painting on the other. So this study investigates Renaissance notions of how language engages a reader, with both musical and painterly effects. By assimilating the principles of Aristotelian mimesis, Sidney devises a poetics that assigns meaning to the verbal system itself. Writing is making.

The Philobiblon
Author: Richard De Bury
Publisher: Courier Dover Publications
ISBN: 0486832465
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
"Will always hold an honorable place for bibliophiles." — The University of Chicago Press One of the earliest treatises on the value of preserving neglected manuscripts, building a library, and book collecting, Richard De Bury's The Philobiblon was written in 1345 and circulated widely in manuscript form for over a century. The first printed edition appeared in Cologne in 1473, and several others soon followed as the invention of the printing press spread throughout the late Medieval world. The chapter titles of this legendary work reflect its nature, combining the author's love for and commitment to the importance of books and the knowledge they contain with thoughts on collecting them, lending them, teaching with them, and simply enjoying them: "That the Treasure of Wisdom is chiefly contained in books," "What we are to think of the price in the buying of books," "Who ought to be special lovers of books," and "Of the manner of lending all our books to students." The Prologue ends with the following thought: "And this treatise (divided into twenty chapters) will clear the love we have had for books from the charge of excess, will expound the purpose of our intense devotion, and will narrate more clearly than light all the circumstances of our undertaking. And because it principally treats of the love of books, we have chose after the fashion of the ancient Romans fondly to name it by a Greek word, Philobiblon." This volume offers modern bibliophiles a splendid edition of one of the first books ever to study, define, and, above all, praise their passion: the all-encompassing love of books.
