Download or read book Satiro Mastix or the Vntrussing of the Humorous Poet written by Thomas Dekker and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Satiro-Mastix;" by Thomas Dekker is a late Elizabethan stage play. It was also involved in the Poetomachia or War of the Theatres. In Satiromastix, Horace (Jonson) is represented as a social hanger-on and toady, desperate to establish himself as an independent moralist but fearful of being held responsible for his judgments. We know his writing is corrupt, not because it is bad writing but because he himself is dishonest; his verse is concocted to exploit social possibilities, though he represents it as an essential part of a well-regulated state....

Download or read book Thomas Dekker and the Traditions of English Drama written by Larry S. Champion and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1985 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through an examination of drama spanning the Elizabethan-Jacobean-Caroline period, Thomas Dekker and the Traditions of English Drama provides new insights into the evolution of the genre and of Thomas Dekker's contribution to this development. His insistent determination to experiment is best reflected in the steady advance in form in his early romantic comedies, in his interweaving of divergent comic modes in The Roaring Girl, in his use of a wide variety of medieval dramatic techniques in setting the legend of Dorothea to stage in The Virgin Martyr, and in his examination of profound moral and social ambiguities in The Witch of Edmonton. Equally important is his ability to interact creatively with his fellow playwrights, to respond to the influence of Jonson, Marston, and Chapman in Northward Ho, to Shakespeare's Measure For Measure in 2 The Honest Whore.... The overwhelming conclusion is that Dekker deserves a considerably higher place than most critics have been willing to acknowledge.

Download or read book The Rhetoric of the Page written by Laurie Maguire and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging and entertaining book explores blank space from incunabula to Google books. Blanks are a paradox—simultaneously nothing and something, gesturing to what was once there or might be there. They are also a creative opportunity for readers as well as writers: readers respond to what is not there and writers come to anticipate that response. Thus, blank space develops literary and ludic applications. Each chapter focuses on one typographical form of what is not there on the page: physical gaps (Chapter One), marks of incompletion such as &c (Chapter Two), and the asterisk as a stand-in for things that cannot be said (Chapter Three). By looking at the early-modern page as a visual unit as well as a verbal unit, this volume shows how the relationship between textual layout and textual content is as productive for writers as it is for readers. Mise-en-page influences readers in the same way that rhetoric influences readers. It is thus possible to speak of 'the rhetoric of the page'.

Download or read book Rhetoric and Medicine in Early Modern Europe written by Nancy S. Struever and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through close analysis of texts, cultural and civic communities, and intellectual history, the papers in this collection, for the first time, propose a dynamic relationship between rhetoric and medicine as discourses and disciplines of cure in early modern Europe. Although the range of theoretical approaches and methodologies represented here is diverse, the essays collectively explore the theories and practices, innovations and interventions, that underwrite the shared concerns of medicine, moral philosophy, and rhetoric: care and consolation, reading, policy, and rectitude, signinference, selfhood, and autonomy-all developed and refined at the intersection of areas of inquiry usually thought distinct. From Italy to England, from the sixteenth through to the mid-eighteenth century, early modern moral philosophers and essayists, rhetoricians and physicians investigated the passions and persuasion, vulnerability and volubility, theoretical intervention and practical therapy in the dramas, narratives, and disciplines of public and private cure. The essays are relevant to a wide range of readers, including cultural, literary, and intellectual historians, historians of medicine and philosophy, and scholars of rhetoric.
Download or read book Literary Visualities written by Ronja Bodola and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the focus on pictoriality as central constituent of visual culture from the perspective of literary studies, which in the wake of an ‘intermedial turn’ so far focused on the ways texts relate to pictures and visual media either in praesentia (e.g. word and image studies) or in absentia (e.g. ekphrasis). Instead, it emphasizes literature’s participation in visual culture at large and focuses on three areas of investigation: (1) the depiction of, for instance, visual perceptions in the literary mode of description, which is paramount to formatting the mental aspect of visual culture; (2) the readerly practice of visualising situations and events of the fictional world, which mediates between those mentefacts and techniques of writing; (3) textual visibilities which are grounded in materiality. The volume explores these three areas from a systematically integrated perspective and the essays include in-depth treatments of seminal examples taken from Western literatures (primarily English and German, but also French and American literature) from early modern times to the present. This book’s aim is to work out literature’s active role in shaping visual culture, thus demonstrating its relevance for “image studies”.
