A pluralistic and comparative treatment of European literature from about 1485 to about 1660. Emphasizes boundaries such as those between genre and gender, languages and literatures, reading and criticism, and the Renaissance and its bracketing periods. Among the topics are ritual and text, boredom
Approaching the Renaissance from many perspectives-historicism, genre studies, close reading, anthropology, feminism, new historicism, cultural materialism and postmodernism-these original essays explore the boundaries between genre and gender, languages and literatures, reading and criticism, the Renaissance and the Middle Ages, the early modern and the post-modern, world and theater. They offer a new way of looking at the Renaissance and at literature and history generally-through the lens of cultural pluralism, which reflects the changing nature of Western society. The collection reveals that the study of literature should take into account its cultural context and that it is enriched by an examination of other literatures.
