About this title

Synopsis

This collection of essays brings together leading scholars of the early modern period, and offers a new focus on the literature and culture of the Renaissance. Traditionally, Renaissance studies has concentrated on the human subject; the essays collected here bring objects--purses, clothes, tapestries, houses, maps, feathers, tools, skulls--back into view. Subject and Object in Renaissance Culture puts things back into relation with people, eliciting not only new critical readings of key texts, but also new configurations of Renaissance culture.

From the Back Cover

This collection of original essays brings together some of the most prominent figures in New Historicist and cultural materialist approaches to the Early Modern period, and offers a new focus on the literature and culture of the Renaissance.
