Specifically, Cheney argues for the importance of an 'early modern sublime' to the advent of modern authorship in Spenser, Marlowe, Shakespeare, and Jonson. Chapters feature a model of creative excellence and social liberty that helps explain the greatness of the English Renaissance. Cheney's argument revises the received wisdom, which locates the sublime in the eighteenth-century philosophical 'subject'. The book demonstrates that canonical works like The Faerie Queene and King Lear reinvent sublimity as a new standard of authorship. This standard emerges not only in rational, patriotic paradigms of classical and Christian goodness but also in the eternizing greatness of the author's work: free, heightened, ecstatic. Playing a centralizing role in the advent of modern authorship, the early modern sublime becomes a catalyst in the formation of an English canon"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 17 $a Jonson, Ben $d 1573-1637 $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)118558323 600 17 $a Marlowe, Christopher $d 1564-1593 $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)118578065 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William $d 1564-1616 $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)118613723 600 17 $a Spenser, Edmund $d 1552-1599 $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)118616129 650 0 $a English literature $y Early modern, 1500-1700 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Sublime, The, in literature. 650 0 $a English drama $y Early modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English drama $y 17th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a English drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910737 650 7 $a English drama $x Early modern and Elizabethan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710950 650 7 $a English literature $x Early modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710960 650 7 $a Sublime, The, in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01136597 650 7 $a Autorschaft $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4130545-0 650 7 $a 18.05 English literature. $0 (NL-LeOCL)077611977 $2 nbc 648 7 $a 1500-1700 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011013.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8B373EB4840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
