The Cartographic Imagination In Early Modern England : Re -writing The World In Marlowe, Spenser, Raleigh And Marvell

Attribution
D.K. Smith
Publication Details
Book, Ashgate, 2008
Description
He argues that the literary representation of cartographically-related material from the late fifteenth to the early seventeenth century demonstrates a new strain, not just of geographical understanding, but of cartographic manipulation, which he terms, “the cartographic imagination.”Rather than considering the effects of maps themselves on early modern epistemologies, Smith considers the effects of the activity of mapping-the new techniques, the new expectations of accuracy and precision which developed in the sixteenth century-on the ways people thought and wrote.

Women Novelists And The Ethics Of Desire, 1684-1814 : In The Voice Of Our Biblical Mothers

Attribution
Elizabeth Kraft
Publication Details
Book, Ashgate, 2008
Description
In “Women Novelists and the Ethics of Desire, 1684-1814″, Elizabeth Kraft radically alters our conventional views of early women novelists by taking seriously their representations of female desire. Like their paradigmatic foremothers, these early women novelists create female characters who demonstrate subjectivity and responsibility for the other even as they grapple with the exigencies imposed on them by circumstance and convention.Kraft’s study, informed by ethical theorists such as Emmanuel Levinas and Luce Irigaray, is remarkable in its juxtaposition of narratives from ancient and early modern times.

Archipelagic English : Literature, History, And Politics, 1603-1707

Attribution
John Kerrigan
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 2008
Description
Seventeenth-century “English Literature” has long been thought about in narrowly English terms. Archipelagic English corrects this by devolving anglophone writing, showing how much remarkable work was produced in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, and how preoccupied such English authors as Shakespeare, Milton, and Marvell were with the often fraught interactions between ethnic, religious, and national groups around the British-Irish archipelago.

Scenes Of Instruction In Renaissance Romance

Attribution
Jeff Dolven
Publication Details
Book, University of Chicago Press, 2007
Links
Description
Drawing deeply on the era?s pedagogical literature, Dolven explores the links between humanist strategies of instruction and romance narrative, rethinking such concepts as experience, sententiousness, example, method, punishment, lessons, and endings. In scrutinizing this pivotal moment in the ancient, intimate contest between art and education, Scenes of Instruction in Renaissance Romance offers a new view of one of the most unconsidered?yet fundamental?problems in literary criticism: poetry?s power to please and instruct.
