The Establishment of Modern English Prose in the Reformation and the Enlightenment [Buy it!] | Ian Robinson | USD 121.38 (Tue May 21 09:41:11 2024) | AbebooksDE | AHA-BUCH GmbH | ISBN10: 0521480884, ISBN13: 9780521480888, [publisher: Cambridge University Press] Hardcover Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Ian Robinson traces the legacy of prose writing as a form theorized and propagated as an art distinct from verse. Engaging with histories of rhetoric as well as the work of the great prose writers in English, Robinson provides a bold reappraisal of this literary form, and shows that the formal construct of the sentence itself is historically conditioned and no older than the post-medieval world. The relationship between rhetorical style and literary meaning, Robinson argues, is at the heart of the way we understand the external world.
