Description

This Routledge scholarly work explores the paradox at the heart of Renaissance literary theory: how fictional worlds emerged as autonomous spaces precisely because they could address the failures of history itself. Robert E. Stillman's study centres on Philip Sidney's Defence of Poesy, the first major Renaissance text to establish poetry as a preeminent form of knowledge operating in the public sphere. Rather than treating Sidney's ideas in isolation, Stillman traces their origins within an overlooked intellectual community of the period, revealing how Sidney's defence of fiction-making was rooted in a specific historical and social context. This fresh interpretation challenges conventional readings of Renaissance poetics and demonstrates how Sidney's theories anticipate later developments in literary autonomy. Essential for scholars of Renaissance literature, poetry theory, and the history of literary criticism.
