In The sense of Early Modern writing, Mark Robson pursues the
relation between the concept of the 'early modern' and modernity,
tracing the complex interactions of post-Romantic, philosophical
aesthetics and early modern rhetoric and poetics. The book
therefore questions the status of what we now think of as literary
texts in a period prior to the emergence of literature as a
category. In this way, Robson argues for an attention to the
classical notion of aisthesis, that is, for the crucial dimension
of perception and response in reading and thinking -- and its
rhetorical determination -- to be taken into account. Robson's
theoretically-informed approach, drawing in particular on the work
of Jacques Derrida and Paul de Man, fundamentally challenges the
idea that critical theory is of little relevance in the reading of
early modern texts. The sense of Early Modern writing includes
readings of both familiar and unfamiliar texts by Shakespeare,
Sidney, Jonson, Hester Pulter and others, and considers topics such
as ears, eyes, tongues, hands and voices, in order to ask: How
should we read early modern texts? The book will therefore be of
interest to all students and researchers in early modern or
Renaissance studies, as well as to those thinking through the
theories and histories of literature, aesthetics and rhetoric. -- .
