Although the study focuses on the Renaissance, it also draws on and analyzes substantial classical and medieval materia ..."

"What is the history of authorship, of invention, of intellectual property? Joseph Loewenstein describes the fragmentary and eruptive emergence of a key phase of the bibliographical ego, a specifically Early Modern form of authorial identification with printed writing. In the work of many playwrights and non-dramatic writers - and especially that of Ben Jonson - that identification is tinged, remarkably, with possessiveness. This 2002 bo ..."

In Mimesis and Empire , first published in 2001, Barbara Fuchs explores the intricate dynamics of imitation and contradistinction among early modern European powers in literary and historiographical texts from sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Spain, Italy, Engl ..."

The Limits of Eroticism in Post-Petrarchan Narrative
Conditional Pleasure from Spenser to Marvell (Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture)

Hardcover, 264 Pages, Published 1999 by Cambridge University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-521-63064-1, ISBN: 0-521-63064-9

"The poet Petrarch imagined that the hopeless but pure love of a woman could lead a man to heaven. In sixteenth-century England Edmund Spenser wrote poetry in the petrarchan tradition while heightening its dilemmas--flirting with a very different kind of feminine image. Dorothy Stephens shows that this flirtation emerges only in conditional language and situations, and that the eroticism the reader feels often belies a narrator's insiste ..."
