What were the possibilities of prose as a literary medium in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries? And how did it operate in the
literary and social worlds? The Project of Prose in Early Modern
Europe and the New World brings together ten new essays by leading
scholars of the literatures of England, Spain, France, Italy,
Portugal, and the colonial Americas, to answer these questions in
wide-ranging ways. Several of the essays shed new light on landmark
prose works of the period; some discuss what lesser-known writings
reveal about the medium; others move between the literary and the
nonliterary to reflect on the medium's intersections with history,
fiction, subjectivity, the state, science, and other aspects of
social and cultural life. Overall, this collection will provoke an
international reconsideration of the remarkable visibility and
diversity of the medium of prose in the early modern period.
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.

Post-Petrarchism offers a theoretical study of lyric poetry through
one of its most long-lived and widely practiced models: the lyric
sequence, originated by Francis Petrarch in his Canzoniere of the
late fourteenth century. A framework in which poems are suspended
according to some organizing or unifying principle, the lyric
sequence emerges from European humanist culture as a poetic
discourse that represents personal experience and operates as a
kind of fiction. Here Roland Greene proposes that since Petrarch
the lyric sequence has survived in European and American
literatures--from Shakespeare's Sonnets to The Waste Land to
Trilce--as a complex in which formal, generic, and cultural designs
intersect, and as an embodiment of lyric discourse at its most
extensive, inclusive, and ambitious. Enabled by a theoretical
introduction to the genre at large, the book treats the founding
and elaboration of the vernacular sequence in six major texts by
Petrarch, Philip Sidney, Edward Taylor, Walt Whitman, W. B. Yeats,
Pablo Neruda, and Martin Adan. Throughout Greene shows how
Petrarchism has evolved as lyric discourse through its exposure to
such events as the Reformation and Puritanism, the settlement of
the New World, and the various modernisms of Europe and the
Americas. Originally published in 1991. 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.
