Personification, or prosopopeia, the rhetorical figure by which
something not human is given a human identity or 'face', is readily
discernible in early modern texts and images, but the figure's
cognitive form and function, its rhetorical and pictorial effects,
have rarely elicited sustained scholarly attention. The aim of this
volume is to formulate an alternative account of personification,
to demonstrate the ingenuity with which this multifaceted device
was utilized by late medieval and early modern authors and artists
in Italy, France, England, Scotland, and the Low Countries.
Personification is susceptible to an approach that balances
semiotic analysis, focusing on meaning effects, and
phenomenological analysis, focusing on presence effects produced
through bodily performance. This dual approach foregrounds the full
scope of prosopopoeic discourse-not just the what, but also the
how, not only the signified, but also the signifier.
