Description
“The Anonymous Renaissance offers a paradigm-shifting look at print culture in early modern England. It is difficult to overstate the originality and importance of this new study.”-Jennifer Summit, Stanford University The Renaissance was in many ways the beginning of modern and self-conscious authorship, a time when individual genius was celebrated and an author’s name could become a book trade commodity.

Ambition, Rank, And Poetry In 1590s England

Attribution
John Huntington
Publication Details
Book, University of Illinois Press, 2001
Description
Ambition, Rank, and Poetry in 1590s England focuses on the early work of George Chapman and on the writings of others who shared his social agenda and his nonprivileged status, including Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, and Edmund Spenser as well as neglected writers such as Matthew Roydon and Aemilia Lanyer. Rather than placing poetry in the service of traditional social purposes–pleasing a patron, wooing a woman, displaying one’s courtly skill, teaching morality–these writers held up poetry as important for its own sake: an idea taken for granted in much modern aesthetics. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
