About this title

Synopsis

This book seeks to define the emblem's importance in the literary systems of English Renaissance culture. It examines the relationship between emblems and formal rhetoric and explores the place which the emblem occupied in the theoretical treatises on symbols of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Review

"Bath's book on English emblems in both the print and material cultures -Speaking pictures- is perhaps the most important contribution to emblem studies in general, and to English emblems in particular, to have been published in the last two decades." Literature in the light of the emblem by Peter M. Daly, University of Toronto Press
