Description

Discover how Renaissance poets transformed ruins into a powerful cultural symbol in this groundbreaking study from Fordham University Press. Andrew Hui traces the invention of the ruin as a distinct category of discourse, revealing how humanists used these material remnants to mark the rupture between their own era and classical antiquity. This comprehensive examination documents how the ruin inspired voluminous poetic production and propelled Renaissance writers to create self-aware works that absorbed the past whilst securing their own survival into the future. Essential reading for scholars of Renaissance literature, poetics, and the cultural history of how Western thought engages with classical heritage and temporal rupture.
