The Renaissance saw a renewed and energetic engagement with
classical rhetoric; recent years have seen a similar revival of
interest in Renaissance rhetoric. As Renaissance critics
recognised, figurative language is the key area of intersection
between rhetoric and literature. This book is the first modern
account of Renaissance rhetoric to focus solely on the figures of
speech. It reflects a belief that the figures exemplify the larger
concerns of rhetoric, and connect, directly or by analogy, to
broader cultural and philosophical concerns within early modern
society. Thirteen distinguished contributors have selected a
rhetorical figure with a special currency in Renaissance writing,
and have used it as a key to one of the period's characteristic
modes of perception, forms of argument, states of feeling, or
styles of reading.
