ISBN-13: 978-0-521-33841-7, ISBN: 0-521-33841-7

"In her introduction to this brilliant and outrageous literary landmark, Anne Barton places Don Juan within the context of Byron's life and reading, and offers an interpretation of the poem which demonstrates its underlying coherence and artistic integrity, despite Byron's mischievous protestations to the contrary. A long chapter on the reception of the poem considers some of the attempts to imitate or continue it, using them to define w ..."






Essays, Mainly Shakespearean(Updated)

Paperback, 408 Pages, Published 2007 by Cambridge University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-521-03279-7, ISBN: 0-521-03279-2

"Anne Barton's essays on Shakespeare and his contemporaries are characterized by their combination of intelligence, humanity and elegance. In this linked but wide-ranging collection, addressing such topics as Shakespeare's trust--and mistrust--of language, "hidden kings" in the Tudor and Stuart history play, and comedy and the city, Barton looks at both major and neglected plays of the period and the ongoing dialogue between them."

ISBN-13: 978-0-521-03492-0, ISBN: 0-521-03492-2

By focusing on how characters feel, and how ..."

Looking at what "theater" meant to medieval and Renaissance writers and critics, William West sets Renaissance drama within one of its cultural and intellectual contexts. Although the study focuses on the Renaissance, it also draws on and analyzes substantial classical and medieval materia ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-521-03487-6, ISBN: 0-521-03487-6

"This valuable study illuminates the idea of nobility as display, as public performance, in Renaissance and seventeenth-century literature and society. Through detailed readings of major authors, including Castiglione, Montaigne, Bacon and Corneille, David Posner examines the tensions between literary or imaginative representations of "nobility," and the increasingly problematic historical position of the nobility themselves.

ISBN-13: 978-0-521-54350-7, ISBN: 0-521-54350-9

"As powerful, pointed imitation, cultural mimesis can effect inclusion in a polity, threaten state legitimacy, or undo the originality upon which such legitimacy is based. 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 Culture of Slander in Early Modern England(1st Edition)
(Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture)
by M. Lindsay Kaplan, Anne Barton, Marjorie B. Garber, Professor Jonathan Goldberg, Nancy Vickers, Kate Mcluskie
Paperback, 148 Pages, Published 2007 by Cambridge University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-521-58637-5, ISBN: 0-521-58637-2

"Slander constitutes a central social, legal and literary concern of early modern England. A category of discourse which transgresses the law, it offers a more historically grounded and fluid account of power relations between poets and the state than that offered by the commonly accepted model of official censorship. An investigation of slander reveals it to be an effective, unstable and reversible means of repudiating one's opposition ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-521-03093-9, ISBN: 0-521-03093-5

"Edmund Spenser (c. 1552–99) conducted two careers at once: a celebrated national poet, he also pursued a lifelong career as secretary to various political and ecclesiastical figures. Richard Rambuss's book explores the ways in which this latter career, usually allotted only a cursory mention in accounts of Spenser's professional and social ambitions, informed his poetic career. The study takes issue with prevailing historicist accounts ..."

Defending Literature in Early Modern England(1st Edition)
Renaissance Literary Theory in Social Context (Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture)
by Robert Matz, Anne Barton, Marjorie B. Garber, Professor Jonathan Goldberg, Nancy Vickers, Kate Mcluskie

ISBN-13: 978-0-521-03518-7, ISBN: 0-521-03518-X

"Why was literature so often defended and defined in early modern England in terms of its ability to provide the Horatian ideal of both profit and pleasure? This book, first published in 2000, analyses Renaissance literary theory in the context of social transformations of the period, focusing on conflicting ideas about gentility that emerged as the English aristocracy evolved from a feudal warrior class to a civil elite. Through close r ..."






The Limits of Eroticism in Post-Petrarchan Narrative(1st Edition)
Conditional Pleasure from Spenser to Marvell (Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture)
by Author: Dorothy Stephens, Anne Barton, Marjorie B. Garber, Professor Jonathan Goldberg, Nancy Vickers, Kate Mcluskie
Paperback, 264 Pages, Published 2006 by Cambridge University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-521-03469-2, ISBN: 0-521-03469-8

"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 ..."






The Rhetoric of the Body from Ovid to Shakespeare(Updated)
(Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture)
by Lynn Enterline, Anne Barton, Marjorie B. Garber, Professor Jonathan Goldberg, Nancy Vickers, Kate Mcluskie
Paperback, 288 Pages, Published 2006 by Cambridge University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-521-03465-4, ISBN: 0-521-03465-5

"This persuasive book analyses the complex, often violent connections between body and voice in Ovid's Metamorphoses and narrative, lyric and dramatic works by Petrarch, Marston and Shakespeare. Lynn Enterline describes the foundational yet often disruptive force that Ovidian rhetoric exerts on early modern poetry, particularly on representations of the self, the body and erotic life. Paying close attention to the trope of the female voi ..."

Paperback, 284 Pages, Published 2006 by Cambridge University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-521-59457-8, ISBN: 0-521-59457-X

"This book explores the lively interplay between popular romances and colonial narratives during a crucial period of English and colonial history. Joan Pong Linton argues that while the emergent romance figure of the husband embodies a new ideal of productive masculinity, colonial narratives, in putting this masculinity to the test, often contradict and raise doubts about the ideal. Study of these texts in the context of colonial experie ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-521-03486-9, ISBN: 0-521-03486-8

"This original study examines how Shakespeare and his contemporaries made the difficult transition from writing plays for the theater to publishing them as literary works. Douglas Brooks analyzes how and why certain plays found their way into print while many others failed to do so and looks at the role played by the Renaissance book trade in shaping literary reputations. Incorporating many finely-observed typographical illustrations, th ..."
