Examining both familiar and underappreciated texts, Hassan Melehy
foregrounds the relationships that early modern French and English
writers conceived with both their classical predecessors and
authors from flourishing literary traditions in neighboring
countries. In order to present their own avowedly national
literatures as successfully surpassing others, they engaged in a
paradoxical strategy of presenting other traditions as both
inspiring and dead. Each of the book's four sections focuses on one
early modern author: Joachim Du Bellay, Edmund Spenser, Michel de
Montaigne, and William Shakespeare. Melehy details the elaborate
strategies that each author uses to rewrite and overcome the work
of predecessors. His book touches on issues highly pertinent to
current early modern studies: among these are translation, the
relationship between classicism and writing in the vernacular, the
role of literature in the consolidation of the state, attitudes
toward colonial expansion and the "New World," and definitions of
modernity and the past.
