Description

Explore the complex relationships between early modern French and English writers and their predecessors in this scholarly work by Hassan Melehy. Published by Routledge, this book examines how authors from these nations engaged with classical traditions and neighboring literary movements to establish their own national identities. Melehy investigates a paradoxical strategy where writers presented other traditions as both a source of inspiration and as something that had passed. By looking at both well-known and underappreciated texts, the study reveals how these authors sought to present their own literatures as superior to those of others. This academic text provides a deep look into the literary landscape of early modern Europe through the lens of four specific authors.
