Condition: Gut. XII; 257 S.; 24 cm. Gutes Ex.; Umschlag etwas berieben u. m. kl. Läsuren. - Englisch. - Margaret W. Ferguson (* 1948), US-amerikanische Literaturwissenschaftlerin (wiki-Eintrag) // Why has literature in Western culture so often been called on to defend itself? How do defenses of fiction-making by poets and critics compete with the texts in which philosophers, theologians, historians, or scientists justify the truth-claims of their own disciplines? Margaret Ferguson addresses these questions in a wide-ranging study that defines and illuminates the defense as a rhetorical genre in its own right-a hybrid that blurs the boundary between fiction and theoretical explanation. Although versions of the defense appear in many historical periods, as Ferguson notes in her introductory survey, Renaissance authors experimented with the genre in particularly significant ways, exploiting its affinities with the classical forensic oration and the tradition of Christian confession. The defense became a textual arena in which complex ideological battles were symbolically waged. Ferguson analyzes exemplary defenses by three sixteenth-century poets: Du Bellay, Tasso, and Sidney. She examines not only the desires for power and recognition that motivate these authors' defenses, but also the nature of the prosecution to which they reply - a prosecution that is both a social and a psychological phenomenon, arising from individuals and cultural institutions as well as from the Freudian "super-ego." In a final chapter she considers the parallels between Freud's own rhetorical strategies of defense and those employed by Boccaccio, Shelley, and other defenders of literature.
