Fallen Castles and Summer Grass --Acknowledgments --Notes --IndexThe Renaissance was the Ruin-naissance, the birth of the ruin as a distinct category of cultural discourse, one that inspired voluminous poetic production. For humanists, the ruin became the material sign that marked the rupture between themselves and classical antiquity. In the first full-length book to document this cultural phenomenon, Andrew Hui explains how the invention of the ruin propelled poets into creating works that were self-aware of their absorption of the past as well as their own survival in the future.Verbal arts--studies in poetics.Ruins in literatureEuropean literatureRenaissance, 1450-1600History and criticismElectronic books.Aesthetic of Ruins.Cultural Philology.Du Bellay.Hypnerotomachia Poliphili.Monuments.Petrarch.Poetic Immortality.Renaissance Aesthetics.Spenser.Ruins in literature.European literatureHistory and criticism.809.02Hui Andrewauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1055696DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910480080703321The Poetics of Ruins in Renaissance Literature2489291UNINA
