{"product_id":"rhetoric-and-poetry-in-the-donald-lemen-clark-9781162682099","title":"Rhetoric And Poetry In The Renaissance","description":"Rhetoric And Poetry In The Renaissance by Donald Lemen Clark is a comprehensive study of the relationship between rhetoric and poetry during the Renaissance era. The book explores how rhetoric, the art of persuasion, influenced the writing and interpretation of poetry during this time period. It covers the works of prominent poets such as Petrarch, Dante, and Shakespeare, and analyzes how their use of rhetorical devices contributed to the development of poetic form and style.The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the relationship between rhetoric and poetry. The first part examines the historical context of the Renaissance and the role of rhetoric in shaping literary culture. The second part delves into the specific techniques and strategies used by poets to incorporate rhetoric into their work, such as the use of metaphor, allusion, and irony. The third part looks at the ways in which Renaissance poets used rhetoric to engage with contemporary political and social issues.Throughout the book, Clark provides detailed analysis of individual poems and literary works, drawing on a wide range of primary sources and secondary scholarship. He also situates his analysis within broader historical and cultural contexts, highlighting the political, religious, and intellectual debates that shaped Renaissance literature.Overall, Rhetoric And Poetry In The Renaissance is an essential resource for scholars and students of Renaissance literature, as well as anyone interested in the history of rhetoric and its influence on literary culture.Another scholar in classical rhetoric was Roger Ascham, whose Scholemaster (1570) contains the first reference in England to Aristotle's Poetics. But except as a teacher of language and of literature Ascham does not treat of poetry. Following Quintilian, he classifies literature into genres of poetry, history, philosophy, and oratory, each with its appropriate subdivisions. Both Ascham and Quintilian are interested in literature as professors who must organize a field for presentation to students; and as is frequently the case, the result is apt to become arid, schematic, and lifeless.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
