The Early Modern Grotesque: English Sources and Documents 1500-1700
offers readers a large and fully annotated collection of primary
source texts addressing the grotesque in the English Renaissance.
The sources are arranged chronologically in 120 numbered items with
accompanying explanatory Notes. Each Note provides clarification of
difficult terms in the source text, locating it in the context of
early modern English and Continental discourses on the grotesque.
The Notes also direct readers to further English sources and
relevant modern scholarship. This volume includes a detailed
introduction surveying the vocabulary, form and meaning of the
grotesque from its arrival as a word, concept and aesthetic in 16th
century England to its early maturity in the 18th century. The
Introduction, Items and Notes, complemented by illustrations and a
comprehensive bibliography, provide an unprecedented view of the
evolving complexity and diversity of the early modern English
grotesque. While giving due credit to Wolfgang Kayser and Mikhail
Bakhtin as masters of grotesque theory, this ground-breaking book
aims to provoke new, evidence-based approaches to understanding the
specifically English grotesque. The textual archive from 1500-1700
is a rich and intriguing record that offers much to interested
readers and researchers in the fields of literary studies, theatre
studies and art history.
