Abstract
FIVE of these essays on Renaissance literature and contemporary theory are not about literature at all; they are devoted to Renaissance theory of the epic, a sixteenth-century treatise on rhetoric, courtesy books, attacks on the theater, and a collection of cultural subtexts including a courtier's behavior as well as Petrarchan sonnets and court masques. Only two essays focus on art in the traditional sense, and one of these explores an early version of semiotic theory in a pictorial narrative, while the other offers a neoMarxist analysis of the relation between author, his materials, and his readers in Renaissance narrative.
