Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. How did we first come to believe in a correspondence between writers' lives and their works? When did the person of the authorboth as context for and target of textual interpretationbegin to matter so much to the way we read? This book traces the development of author centrism back to the early Renaissance humanists. Working against allegoresis and other traditions of non-historicizing textual reception, these innovative scholars discovered thepower of engaging ancient works through the speculative reconstruction of writers' personalities and artistic motives. To trace the multi-lingual and cross-cultural rise of reading for the author, this bookpresents four case studies of resolutely experimental texts by and about writers of high ambition in their respective generations: Lorenzo Valla on the forger of the Donation of Constantine, Erasmus on Saint Jerome, the poet George Gascoigne on himself, and Fulke Greville on Sir Philip Sidney. An opening methodological chapter and an exhortative conclusion frame these four studies with accounts of the central lexiconcharacter, ethos, intention, personaandthe range of genres of evidence that contemporaries used to discern and articulate authorial character and purpose.Constellated throughout with examples from the works of major contemporaries, includingJohn Aubrey, John Hayward, Galileo, Machiavelli, and Shakespeare, this book resurrects a vibrant culture of biographical criticism continuous with modern practice and yet radically more attuned to the explanatory powers of probabilism and historical conjecturethe discursive middle grounds eventually displaced by the post-Enlightenment binaries of truth and fiction, history and story, fact and fable. Studying texts by Lorenzo Valla, Erasmus, Saint Jerome, George Gascoigne, and Fulke Greville, this volume explores authorial character as an instrument of textual analysis in the scholarship of early Renaissance literature.
