Overview
In this first history of the grand style, Professor Shuger explores the development of a Christian aesthetic, out of the Classical grand style, from Isocrates to the sacred rhetorics of the Renaissance. These texts suggest the almost forgotten centrality of neo-Latin scholarship during these years and provide a crucial theoretical context for England's great flowering of devotional prose and poetry.Book Details
