Style

"Style is central to our conception of the Renaissance, but it has seldom been written about apart from studies of formal rhetoric and the graphic arts. These essays demonstrate that style is a fertile juncture of literature, culture, politics, fashion, history, science, theology, and genre." "The late Harriett Hawkins was a senior research fellow of Linacre College, Oxford University, and author of several influential works of Renaissance literary criticism and cultural studies such as Likenesses of Truth in Elizabethan and Restoration Drama; Poetic Freedom and Poetic Truth; The Devil's Party; Classics and Trash: Traditions and Taboos in "High" Literature and Popular Modern Genres; and Strange Attractors: Literature, Culture and Chaos Theory. Her friends, family, and colleagues pay tribute to her sense of style - personal and literary - with essays inspired by her own interdisciplinary interests and high scholarly standards."--BOOK JACKET.
