Description

Explore the historical roots of literary fiction with Philip Sidney and the Poetics of Renaissance Cosmopolitanism from Routledge. This academic study examines how Renaissance thinkers viewed literary fictions as autonomous worlds capable of addressing historical problems. Author Robert E. Stillman provides a new look at Philip Sidney's Defence of Poesy, which stands as the first Renaissance text to argue that poetry is a primary form of knowledge in the public sphere. By looking at the intellectual elite linked to Philip Melanchthon, Stillman reveals how Sidney's ideas about fiction-making were shaped by his specific historical community. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars of literary studies, Renaissance history, and poetry criticism. It offers a deep look into how the celebration of fiction emerged as a way to engage with the world through autonomous literary spaces.
