The volume brings together classicists and early modernists to discuss the vital role played by engagement with classical literature in the Renaissance and beyond. Vibrant discussions of Petrarch, Spenser, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Marvell, Milton and others illuminate how generations of poets have imagined their relation to their predecessors and their own place in the unfolding conversation of literature.
For educated poets and readers in the Renaissance, classical literature was as familiar and accessible as the work of their compatriots and contemporaries – often more so. This volume seeks to recapture that sense of intimacy and immediacy, as scholars from both sides of the modern disciplinary divide come together to eavesdrop on the conversations conducted through allusion and intertextual play in works from Petrarch to Milton and beyond. The essays include discussions of Ariosto, Spenser, Du Bellay, Marlowe, the anonymous drama Caesars Revenge, Shakespeare and Marvell, and look forward to the grand retrospect of Shelley’s Adonais. Together, they help us to understand how poets across the ages have thought about their relation to their predecessors, and about their own contributions to what Shelley would call ‘that great poem, which all poets…have built up since the beginning of the world’. -- .
