The circulation of commonplaces can be understood either as a process of reanimation and revitalization, where frozen sayings thaw out and come to life, or conversely as a process of immobilization and incrustation that petrifies tradition. The paradigmatic figure for this process is the proverbial dance around the well, which expresses both the danger and the compulsion of borrowed speech. 410 0$aBrill's studies in intellectual history ;$vVolume 232. 606 $aEuropean literature$yRenaissance, 1450-1600$xClassical influences 606 $aProverbs$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMaxims$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMetaphor 606 $aCliche?s 606 $aHumanism in literature 606 $aCommonplace books$xHistory 615 0$aEuropean literature$xClassical influences. 615 0$aProverbs$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMaxims$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMetaphor. 615 0$aCliche?s. 615 0$aHumanism in literature. 615 0$aCommonplace books$xHistory. 676 $a809/.024 700 $aMacPhail$b Eric$01567245 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787181803321 996 $aDancing around the well$93838494 997 $aUNINA
