Paradoxia Epidemica is a broad-ranging critical study of
Renaissance thought, showing how the greatest writers of the period
from Erasmus and Rabelais to Donne, Milton, and Shakespeare made
conscious use of paradox not only as a figure of speech but as a
mode of thought, a way of perceiving the universe, God, nature, and
man himself. The book consists of an introduction (historical and
topological) and sixteen chapters grouped according to broad types
of paradox: rhetorical, theological, ontological, epistemological.
Within this framework the author interprets individual writings or
art forms as parts of a rich tradition. Originally published in
1966. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
