Condition: Gut. Fourth ed. 346 S. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). -- A perfect copy. - C. A. Patrides was one of the foremost scholars of his generation. He planned Figures in a Renaissance Context as an extensive revision of some of his uncollected essays, reworking them into a cohesive study, and he had completed much of the project at the time of his death. The essays he revised and augmented are now placed within a broad and meaningful context that serves to amplify the individual studies and to focus them as contributions to a larger cultural project than they originally served. The approach is contextual not only in the sense that it places the individual authors in various Renaissance contexts, but also in that it creates a Renaissance context in which to examine the diverse figures that it considers. Broad in conception and daunting in its scholarship, the book engages the major texts and fig- ures of the period, viewing them as the joint products of particular sensibilities and pervasive Renaissance supposi- tions. Among the authors discussed are Erasmus, More, Spenser, Shakespeare, Jonson, Donne, Herbert, Milton, and Marvell. This volume displays the comprehensiveness and clarity that are the hallmarks of Patrides' mature and assured scholarship. Contents: Introduction -- 1. Erasmus and More: Dialogues with Reality -- 2. Edmund Spenser: The Definition of Poetry -- 3. Shakespeare: The Comedy beyond Comedy -- 4. Ben Jonson: A Poet Nearly Anonymous -- 5. John Donne: The Aesthetics of Morality -- 6. George Herbert: The Transfiguration of Plainness -- 7. Richard Crashaw: The Merging of Contrarieties -- 8. Sir Thomas Browne: The Strategy of Indirection -- 9. Milton: Apocalyptic Configurations -- 10. Paradise Lost: The Language of Theology -- 11. Samson Agonistes: The Comic Dimension -- 12. Milton's Prose: The Adjustment of Idealism -- 13. Andrew Marvell: Engagements with Reality -- 14. The Experience of Otherness: Theology as a Means of Life -- Bibliography of C. A. Patrides -- Index.
