Description

Explore the evolution of early modern literature with Rhetoric and Wonder in English Travel Writing, 1560-1613. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work examines how rhetorical invention, elocution, and ethos worked together to build plausible representations of the world. These writings generated intellectual and emotional meanings that were accepted as true within their contemporary contexts. This book examines the tension between metaphorical ways of knowing and the rise of an empiricist age. It provides a look at how certain traveler-writers felt uneasy with these representations, as their metaphorical epistemology began to clash with new ways of understanding reality. By studying these shifts, readers gain a better understanding of the episteme shift that helped usher in modernity. This text is an essential resource for those studying the history of literary theory and the transition from metaphor-heavy descriptions to more empirical modes of writing.
