This volume examines instances of ecphrasis (literary descriptions
of pictures) in the works of English Renaissance authors against
the background of Elizabethan theory formation on the problem of
representation. References to (usually fictional) works of art in
the works of Sidney, Spenser, Lyly and Shakespeare serve as a
starting-point for a reconstruction of the prevalent theoretical
climate in connection with the question of representation in late
16th century England. The working hypothesis here is that because
of their dual representation structure (verbal representation of
what is already a visual representation) literary descriptions of
pictorial works reflect the issues and problems addressed by
theories of representation in their respective epochs.
