From the flyleaf: The GOLDEN & the BRAZEN WORLD Papers in Literature and History, 1650-1800 edited by John M. Wallace "Nature never set forth the earth in so rich tapestry as divers poets have done.... Her world is brazen, the poets only deliver golden." -Sir Philip Sidney Since the Renaissance, both history and poetry have shown great power to move men's minds and passions. But historians and poets have often contended with one another for the superiority of their respective art. In The Golden & the Brazen World, John M. Wallace brings together essays that examine the interaction of literature and history to shed light on the similarities as well as the differences between the literary and historical enterprise during the period 1650 to 1800. Written by such distinguished literary scholars and historians as Cleanth Brooks, Derek Hirst, Phillip Harth, Robert D. Dume, Susan Staves, James K. Chandler, Edmund S. Morgan, and Arnaldo Momigliano, the essays are wide-ranging, suggestive, and full of challenging new perspectives. The volume as a whole has much to offer the scholarly and critical audience interested in the relations between the two disciplines, and will also appeal to students of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England. Each essay is an authoritative account of its subject and taken together the essays demonstrate different ways in which the study of literature and history can be effectively combined. As Wallace notes in his eloquent preface to the volume, the work reflects the conviction that "some of the best and most lasting criticism combines acute literary perception and informed historical knowledge." John M. Wallace is Professor of English at the University of Chicago. He was Clark Library Professor in 1982-83.
