    Conjuration and The Defense of Poesy -- The Demonology of Spenserian Discipline -- Why Devils Came when Faustus Called Them -- The End of Magic: Instrumental Aesthetics in The Tempest -- Epilogue (Kant's Charm)

    "Through analyses of texts ranging from sermons and theological treatises to medical tracts and legal documents, Genevieve Guenther sheds new light on magic as a cultural practice in early modern England. She demonstrates that magic was a highly pragmatic, even cynical endeavor infiltrating unexpected spheres--including Elizabethan taxation policy and Jacobean political philosophy. With this new understanding of early modern magic, and a fresh context for compelling readings of classic literary works, Magical Imaginations reveals the central importance of magic to English literary history"--Pub. desc

    Introduction -- Reclaiming the "spurious" and "apocryphal" -- Thresholds to the tales -- The many John Lydgates in the world of the tales -- Movable parts in Northumberland MS 455 -- Geoffrey's games in the Tale of Beryn -- Playing games with the Plowmen -- Answering the riddle of the Cook's tale -- Conclusion

    Playing the Canterbury Tales addresses the additions, continuations and reordering found in early copies of the Canterbury Tales. Using examples and theories from new media studies, Higl demonstrates that the Tales are best viewed as an 'interactive fiction.' Readers participated in the on-going creation and production of the tales by adding new text, rearranging existing text, and through this textual transmission, introduced new social and literary meaning to the work

    A compelling cultural reinterpretation of humanist discourses of boyhood The English epyllion, the highly erotic mythological verse that swept the London literary scene in the 1590s, is as much about rhetoric as about sex. So argues William Weaver in this fascinating study of Renaissance education and poetry. Rhetoric, moreover, is erotic. Far being merely formal, rhetoric is the key to deciphering the cultural meanings of an enigmatic genre. Weaver attends to one of the epyllion's defining dramas: boys in transition to adulthood. Whereas recent studies of the epyllion have posited sexuality a
