Mr Sparrow traces the development of the inscription as a literary
form in Renaissance and post-Renaissance Europe. He defines the
'literary' inscription as 'a text composed with a view to its being
presented in lines of different lengths, the lineation contributing
to or enhancing the meaning, so that someone who does not see it,
actually or in the mind's eye, but only hears it read aloud, misses
something of the intended effect'. Mr Sparrow attributes the
Renaissance concern with the visual presentation of words to the
profound interest in epigraphy aroused by the rediscovery of
classical inscriptions. This interest was felt mainly by scholars
and writers, but it extended to architects, painters, sculptors and
designers of monuments - all of whom incorporated inscriptions in
their work.
