In The Establishment of Modern English Prose in the Reformation and
the Enlightenment Ian Robinson traces the legacy of prose writing
as an art form that was theorised and propagated in a manner quite
distinct from verse. Robinson argues that the history of English
prose has been misrepresented by critics who have failed to
understand the grammatical complexities of the language. Engaging
with histories of rhetoric as well as the work of the great prose
writers in English, Robinson provides a bold reappraisal of this
literary form, combining literary criticism with linguistic and
textual analysis. He shows that the formal construct of the
sentence itself is historically conditioned and no older than the
post-medieval world. The relationship between rhetorical style and
literary meaning, Robinson argues, is at the heart of the way we
understand the external world.
