| Zusammenfassung: | James Biester sees the shift in late Elizabethan England toward a witty, rough, and obscure lyric style-metaphysical wit and strong lines-as a response to the heightened cultural prestige of wonder. That same prestige was demonstrated in the search for strange artifacts and animals to display in the wonder-cabinets of the period.By embracing the genres of satire and epigram, poets of the Elizabethan court risked their chances for political advancement, exposing themselves to the danger of being classified either as malcontents or as jesters who lacked the gravitas required of those in power. John Donne himself recognized both the risks and benefits of adopting the'admirable'style, as Biester shows in his close readings of the First and Fourth Satyres.Why did courtier-poets adopt such a dangerous form of self-representation? The answer, Biester maintains, lies in an extraordinary confluence of developments in both poetics and the interpenetrating spheres of the culture at large, which made the pursuit of wonder through style unusually attractive, even necessary. In a postfeudal but still aristocratic culture, he says, the ability to astound through language performed the validating function that was once supplied by the ability to fight. Combining the insights of the new historicism with traditional literary scholarship, Biester perceives the rise of metaphysical style as a social as well as aesthetic event |

Nov 2019) James Biester sees the shift in late Elizabethan England toward a witty, rough, and obscure lyric style-metaphysical wit and strong lines-as a response to the heightened cultural prestige of wonder. That same prestige was demonstrated in the search for strange artifacts and animals to display in the wonder-cabinets of the period.By embracing the genres of satire and epigram, poets of the Elizabethan court risked their chances for political advancement, exposing themselves to the danger of being classified either as malcontents or as jesters who lacked the gravitas required of those in power. John Donne himself recognized both the risks and benefits of adopting the'admirable'style, as Biester shows in his close readings of the First and Fourth Satyres.Why did courtier-poets adopt such a dangerous form of self-representation? The answer, Biester maintains, lies in an extraordinary confluence of developments in both poetics and the interpenetrating spheres of the culture at large, which made the pursuit of wonder through style unusually attractive, even necessary. In a postfeudal but still aristocratic culture, he says, the ability to astound through language performed the validating function that was once supplied by the ability to fight. Combining the insights of the new historicism with traditional literary scholarship, Biester perceives the rise of metaphysical style as a social as well as aesthetic event In English Geschichte 1550-1700 gnd rswk-swf Poetry & Criticism POETRY / Medieval bisacsh English language Early modern, 1500-1700 Rhetoric English poetry Early modern, 1500-1700 History and criticism English wit and humor History and criticism Renaissance England Rhetoric, Renaissance Lyrik (DE-588)4036774-5 gnd rswk-swf Renaissance (DE-588)4049450-0 gnd rswk-swf Metaphysical poets (DE-588)4169651-7 gnd rswk-swf Poetik (DE-588)4046449-0 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Rhetorik (DE-588)4076704-8 gnd rswk-swf Concetto (DE-588)4272863-0 gnd rswk-swf Renaissance (DE-588)4049450-0 s Lyrik (DE-588)4036774-5 s Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Rhetorik (DE-588)4076704-8 s 1\p DE-604 Concetto (DE-588)4272863-0 s Geschichte 1550-1700 z 2\p DE-604 Poetik (DE-588)4046449-0 s 3\p DE-604 Metaphysical poets (DE-588)4169651-7 s 4\p DE-604 https://doi.org/10.7591/9781501741272 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
