Rhetoric, Rhetoricians and Poets : Studies in Renaissance Poetry and Poetics
The Netherlandish rhetoricians of the sixteenth century have, in the course of the last decades, shed their image of third-rate poets who, lacking all sense of true beauty, were capable only of pompous verbosity and a shallow manipulation of form. The new scholarly assessment has also shed light on the role they played in the cultural and literary life of their time, and it now appears that man…

The Deliverance of Others : Reading Literature in a Global Age
The Deliverance of Others is a compelling reappraisal of the idea that narrative literature can expand readers' empathy.

In th…

Conversations with Kenelm : Essays on the Theology of the Commedia

The image, at once perfectly Dantean and perfectly resplendent, underlies and i…
