While the theater investigated representations of religious and ethnic identity in its portrayals of Turks and Muslims, poetry, Miriam Jacobson argues, explored East-West exchanges primarily through language and the material text. Just as English markets were flooded with exotic goods, so was the English language awash in freshly imported words describing items such as sugar, jewels, plants, spices, paints, and dyes, as well as technological advancements such as the use of Arabic numerals in arithmetic and the concept of zero. Even as these Eastern words and imports found their way into English poetry, poets wrestled with paying homage to classical authors and styles. In Barbarous Antiquity, Jacobson reveals how poems adapted from Latin or Greek sources and set in the ancient classical world were now reoriented to reflect a contemporary, mercantile Ottoman landscape. As Renaissance English writers including Shakespeare, Jonson, Marlowe, and Chapman weighed their reliance on classical poetic models against contemporary cultural exchanges, a new form of poetry developed, positioned at the crossroads of East and West, ancient and modern. Building each chapter around the intersection of an Eastern import and a classical model, Jacobson shows how Renaissance English poetry not only reconstructed the classical past but offered a critique of that very enterprise with a new set of words and metaphors imported from the East. 606 $aEnglish poetry$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish language$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xDiction 606 $aEnglish literature$xClassical influences 606 $aEnglish literature$xForeign influences 606 $aCommerce$vTerminology 606 $aCommercial products in literature 607 $aGreat Britain$xCommerce$zMiddle East 607 $aMiddle East$xCommerce$zGreat Britain 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMedieval and Renaissance Studies. 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish language$xDiction. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xClassical influences. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xForeign influences. 615 0$aCommerce 615 0$aCommercial products in literature. 676 $a821/.309357 700 $aJacobson$b Miriam Emma$01627942 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823493503321 996 $aBarbarous antiquity$93964793 997 $aUNINA
