  • The Logic of Love in the Canterbury Tales

    von Manish Sharma
    The Logic of Love in The Canterbury Tales argues that Geoffrey Chaucer’s magnum opus draws inventively on the resources of late medieval logic to conceive of love as an "insoluble."

For Chaucer, however, and in keeping with Christ’s Lesen Sie mehr

  • Milton's Visual Imagination

    Imagery in Paradise Lost

    Critics have traditionally found fault with the descriptions and images in John Milton's poetry and thought of him as an author who wrote for the ear more than the eye. In Milton's Visual Imagination, Stephen B. Dobranski proposes that, on the contrary, Milton enriches his biblical source text with acute and sometimes astonishing visual details. He contends that Milton's imagery - traditionally Lesen Sie mehr

    Personification and the Will in Renaissance Literature

    von Andrew Escobedo
    Serien series ReFormations: Medieval and Early Modern
    Modern readers and writers find it natural to contrast the agency of realistic fictional characters to the constrained range of action typical of literary personifications.
