This volume addresses the multiple, complex and overlapping,
sometimes contradictory and frequently strange forms of knowledge
in circulation during a period which has always been recognized as
a turning point in the intellectual history of Western Europe, and
which is described alternatively as "early modern" or
"Renaissance". The problems of the label "early modern" are
discussed, including the implied rupture with earlier periods, and
the consequent denial of the difference or "otherness" of the
complex material particularities - the textures - of these forms of
knowledge. It is to a variety of such textures - to textualized
spaces and material artifacts as well as to "literay" and
"non-literary" texts - that the distinguished contributors to this
volume attend. Drawing on a range of critical discourses they
engage with these textures in the more nuanced styles of
interpretative practice which are emerging in the wake of new
historicism and cultural materialism, and which represent a
significant shift in critical approach and focus. Individual essays
as well as the volume as a whole should be of interest to
undergraduate and graduate students as well as to scholars of the
period.
