Blood. Invention. Language. Resistance. World. Five ordinary words
that do a great deal of conceptual work in everyday life and
literature. In this original experiment in critical semantics,
Roland Greene considers how these words changed over the course of
the sixteenth century and what their changes indicate about broader
forces in science, politics, and other disciplines. Rather than
analyzing works, careers, or histories, Greene discusses a broad
swath of Renaissance and transatlantic literature—including
Shakespeare, Cervantes, Camões, and Milton—in terms of the
development of these five words. Aiming to shift the conversation
around Renaissance literature from current approaches to riskier
enterprises, Greene also proposes new methods that take advantage
of digital resources like full-text databases, but still depend on
the interpreter to fashion ideas out of ordinary language. Five
Words is an innovative and accessible book that points the field of
literary studies in an exciting new direction.
