| Zusammenfassung: | 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 ancient works 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 presents four 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 evidence that contemporaries used to discern and articulate authorial character and purpose. 0Constellated 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 and0story, fact and fable |

Pfeiffer First edition Oxford Oxford University Press 2022 xxii, 463 Seiten Illustrationen txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier 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 ancient works 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 presents four 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 evidence that contemporaries used to discern and articulate authorial character and purpose. 0Constellated 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 and0story, fact and fable Gascoigne, George ca. 1530/42-1577 (DE-588)118689630 gnd rswk-swf Erasmus, Desiderius 1466-1536 (DE-588)118530666 gnd rswk-swf Greville, Fulke 1554-1628 (DE-588)118639358 gnd rswk-swf Valla, Lorenzo 1407-1457 (DE-588)118626000 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1440-1620 gnd rswk-swf Biografische Literatur (DE-588)4312083-0 gnd rswk-swf Biografische Literatur (DE-588)4312083-0 s Geschichte 1440-1620 z DE-604 Valla, Lorenzo 1407-1457 (DE-588)118626000 p Erasmus, Desiderius 1466-1536 (DE-588)118530666 p Gascoigne, George ca. 1530/42-1577 (DE-588)118689630 p Greville, Fulke 1554-1628 (DE-588)118639358 p Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 9780191782589 (DE-604)BV046863991 Digitalisierung UB Augsburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032252451&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Augsburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032252451&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
