RÉSUMÉ

In The Sense of Early Modern Writing, MarkRobson pursues the relation between the concept of the ‘early modern’and modernity, tracing the complex interactions of post-Romantic,philosophical aesthetics and early modern rhetoric and poetics. Thebook therefore questions the status of what we now think of as literarytexts in a period prior to the emergence of literature as a category.
