Description

Explore how Latin and Scots vernacular shaped Renaissance historical writing in this groundbreaking study from Routledge. John Leeds examines the 16th-century Scottish chronicle literature, revealing how the grammatical structures of humanist neo-Latin and Scots syntax fundamentally influenced how writers conceived of the individual human subject and historical narrative. By connecting grammatical analysis to early modern concepts of subjectivity, this book extends literary theory beyond conventional boundaries. It demonstrates that syntactic choices in these radically different language systems directly conditioned the representation of human agency and action in historical prose, offering fresh insights into how language structure shapes historiographical thinking and the development of literary consciousness during the Renaissance period.
