Written by an international group of highly regarded scholars and
rooted in the field of intermedial approaches to literary studies,
this volume explores the complex aesthetic process of "picturing"
in early modern English literature. The essays in this volume offer
a comprehensive and varied picture of the relationship between
visual and verbal in the early modern period, while also
contributing to the understanding of the literary context in which
Shakespeare wrote. Using different methodological approaches and
taking into account a great variety of texts, including Elizabethan
sonnet sequences, metaphysical poetry, famous as well as anonymous
plays, and court masques, the book opens new perspectives on the
literary modes of "picturing" and on the relationship between this
creative act and the tense artistic, religious and political
background of early modern Europe. The first section explores
different modes of looking at works of art and their relation with
technological innovations and religious controversies, while the
chapters in the second part highlight the multifaceted connections
between European visual arts and English literary production. The
third section explores the functions performed by portraits on the
page and the stage, delving into the complex question of the
relationship between visual and verbal representation. Finally, the
chapters in the fourth section re-appraise early modern reflections
on the relationship between word and image and on their respective
power in light of early-seventeenth-century visual culture, with
particular reference to the masque genre.
