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.

access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in

A noted historian of Renaissance English literature and scholar of
comparative literature, Rosalie L. Colie was also a serious poet.
This volume brings together 31 of her poems, illustrating the
striking interplay between her scholarship and her personal
response to the world. The title poem and the shorter poems that
follow testify to Professor Colie's versatility as a poet. There
are sonnets, elegies, metaphysical speculations, pastorals, love
poems all imbued with the intelligence and sensibility that
pervaded her life and work. Originally published in 1975. The

In this, her last book, Rosalie L. Colie suggests that by linking
"forms"--verse forms, devices, motives, themes, conventions,
genres--to the culture from which a writer springs and to his
selection and organization of materials, we can understand the
processes by which he becomes what he is, and is enabled to do what
he does. She is particularly concerned with uncovering the ways in
which Shakespeare used, misused, criticized, re-created, and
sometimes revolutionized the received topics and devices of his
craft. In this sense, Shakespeare's plays are seen as problem
plays, each exploring the problematics of his craft and revealing
his assessment of what was problematical. The author has chosen for
study topics which connect Shakespeare with the long and rich
continental Renaissance, in the hope that in the future Shakespeare
might be, like Dante and Cervantes, an essential author in a
comparatist's education. Usually a single topic dealing with some
formal aspect of a play--the use of stereotypes to create a
character highly original in stage practice, or the various
manipulations of a mode (the pastoral, for example) rich in
potentialities--is used to try to see in what particular ways
Shakespeare shaped works that are still unique. Originally
published in 1974. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest

Professor Colie brings together all previous and partial
perspectives on Andrew Marvell, adds new ones harvested from her
own deep learning and wide research, and transforms the whole into
what Professor Joseph Summers of the University of Michigan has
called "the best critical book on Marvell's poetry." Rich in
details and knowledge of seventeenth-century English poetry,
aesthetics, Renaissance and Baroque literature and art, and
critical theory, "My Ecchoing Song" first examines Marvell's uses
of theme and device in various lyrics. Later parts of the book
concentrate on "Upon Appleton House" and "The Garden," which
Professor Colie reads from the various focuses of political
history, Marvell's knowledge and use of emblems and classical
authors, contemporary theology, philosophy, and painting.
