Indecorous thinking : figures of speech in early modern poetics

Author:	Colleen Ruth Rosenfeld
Publisher:	New York : Fordham University Press, 2018. ©2018

Summary:	Indecorous Thinking is a study of artifice at its most conspicuous: it argues that early modern writers turned to figures of speech like simile, antithesis, and periphrasis as the instruments of a particular kind of thinking unique to the emergent field of vernacular poesie. The classical ideal of decorum described the absence of visible art as a precondition for rhetoric, civics, and beauty: speaking well meant speaking as if off-the-cuff. Against this ideal, Rosenfeld argues that one of early modern literature's richest contributions to poetics is the idea that indecorous art--artifice that rings out with the bells and whistles of ornamentation--celebrates the craft of poetry even as it expands poetry's range of activities.  Read more...
