A multiplicity of self-commenting modes, ranging from annotations to explicatory prose to prefaces to separate critical texts and exemplifying a variety of literary genres, are subjected to analysis. Self-commentaries are more than just an external apparatus: they direct and control reception of the primary text, thus affecting notions of authorship and readership. With the writer understood as a potentially very influential and often tendentious interpreter of their own work, the essays in this collection offer new perspectives on pre-modern and modern forms of critical self-consciousness, self-representation, and self-validation. Contributors are Harriet Archer, Gilles Bertheau, Carlo Caruso, Jeroen De Keyser, Russell Ganim, Joseph Harris, Ian Johnson, Richard Maber, Martin McLaughlin, John O?Brien, Magdalena O?arska, Federica Pich, Brian Richardson, Els Stronks, and Colin Thompson. 410 0$aIntersections$v62. 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEuropean literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809/.03 702 $aVenturi$b Francesco$f1984- 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511895903321 996 $aSelf-commentary in early modern European literature, 1400-1700$92552246 997 $aUNINA
