Full textThese works, traditionally grouped together because of the interaction of their authors at the end of the 16th century, include Robert Greene's "cony-catching" and "confessional" pamphlets, the texts of the controversy between Thomas Nashe and Gabriel Harvey, and Harvey's manuscript drafts, as well as more familiar works such as Nashe's Unfortunate Traveller.
The theoretical issue of "the real" as a textual effect has been divided up according to the three nominal categories of persons, places and things, but the thesis falls methodologically into two halves. The opening chapters aim at reintroducing the figures of Greene, Nashe and Harvey, and exploring the quasi-genres of confession, invective and rough draft as exemplary models of the textual construction of a realistic person. They also attempt an alternative form of reading which is an amalgam of cento, summary, close reading, theoretical aside, and running commentary. In the second half, microreadings of the Marprelate Tracts, the cony-catching pamphlets, and texts by Nashe are used to shed light on theoretical issues of textual "place" such as the rhetorical construction of "presence" and metaphorical "movement." Once the relationship between premodern and postmodern textuality has been sketched, the final chapter offers a critique of the unreflexive academic practice of doing "readings," and argues for a new literalism and the self-subversion of the figurative in an "extrarhetorical" reading of Nashe's Lenten Stuffe.

Hanan, Rachel Ann 1978. "Words in the world: The place of literature in Early Modern England." Thesis, University of Oregon, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/11156.
Full text"Words in the World" details the ways that the place of rhetoric and literature in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries changes in response to the transition from natural philosophy to Cartesian mechanism. In so doing, it also offers a constructive challenge to today's environmental literary criticism, challenging environmental literary critics' preoccupation with themes of nature and, by extension, with representational language. Reading authors from Thomas More to Philip Sidney and Ben Jonson through changes in physics, cartography, botany, and zoology, "Words in the World" argues that literature occupies an increasingly separate place from the real world. "Place" in this context refers to spatiotemporal dimensions, taxonomic affiliations, and the relationships between literature and the physical world. George Puttenham's Arte of English Poesie (1589), for instance, limits the way that rhetoric is part of the world to the ways that it can be numbered (meter, rhyme scheme, and so forth); metaphor and other tropes, however, are duplicitous. In contrast, for an earlier era of natural philosophers, tropes were the grammar of the universe. "Words in the World" culminates with Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy (1621/1651), in which the product of literature's split from the physical world is literary melancholy. Turning to today's environmental literary criticism, the dissertation thus historicizes ecocriticism's nostalgic melancholy for the extratextual physical world. Indeed, Early Modern authors' inquiries into the place of literature and the relationships between that place and the physical world in terms of literary forms and structures, suggests the importance of ecoformalism to Early Modern scholarship. In particular, this dissertation argues that Early Modern authors treat literary structures as types of performative language. This dissertation revises the standard histories of Early Modern developments in rhetoric and of the literary text, and it provides new insight into the materiality of literary form.

Full textThe purpose of this work is to define the characteristics of the anecdote, understood as a short non fictitious narrative, from the middle of the 17th century. In that period the anecdote enjoyed a wide popularity amongst scholars and high society, while it became an historiographic form in Memoirs of the court. The analysis of a series of examples taken from Memoirs, Lives and Ana (i.e. collections of thoughts and anecdotes) enables us to outline a textual pattern. In spite of the likeness it bears to the exemplum, the jest and the apothegm, the anecdote differs by its claim to truthfulness. This particularity appears to be essential in the context of a profound transformation of historical and biographical rhetoric, which evolves towards a deeper interest in the individual and the authentic detail. However this aspiration to truthfulness is limited by other characteristics of the anecdote. Insofar as it aims to provoke an emotional reaction (such as laughter or surprise), the anecdote is also linked to more inventive forms (for instance fiction, joke, satire). Besides it is designed for circulation and doesn’t belong to a single author: its oral origin is altered by the process of writing, collecting and compilating. To describe a poetic and rhetoric of this genre, we intend to analyse its linguistic characteristics, the paths of its circulation, and its paradoxical way of producing a truthful statement on the individual. Our work takes part in the history of literary forms and aims to show that the anecdote has replaced ancient forms of brief narratives in early modern French literature and historiography
