Words That Matter: Linguistic Perception in Renaissance English

by Judith Anderson

No Customer Reviews

The grammar and rhetoric of Tudor and Stuart England prioritized words and word-like figures rather than sentences, a prioritizing that had significant consequences for linguistic representation. Examining a wide range of historical sources-treatises, grammars, poems, plays, rhetorics, logics, dictionaries, and sermons-the author investigates how words matter as currency or memento, graphic symbol or template, icon or topos.
