A brilliant postmodern critique of Renaissance subjectivity,
"Cultural Aesthetics" explores the simultaneous formation and
fragmentation of aristocratic "selfhood" in the late sixteenth and
early seventeenth centuries. Patricia Fumerton situates the self
within its sumptuous array of "trivial" arts--including the court
literatures of chivalric romance, sonnet, and masque and the arts
of architecture, miniature painting, stage design, and cuisine. Her
integration of historicist and aesthetic perspectives makes this a
provocative contribution to the vigorous field of Renaissance
cultural studies.
