- W1957156966 abstract "Seventeenth-century scientific empiricism was famously hostile to ‘all the amplifications, digressions, and swellings of style’ which the Royal Society of London condemned as resulting in ‘only mists and uncertainties’. By the first decades of the eighteenth century, however, positive appraisals of digressions were appearing in rhetorical theory. Shaftesbury described a style of ‘deviations and excursions’ as the prerogative of the gentleman and poet in his Characteristicks (1711), and Longinian theory offered another way of reading abrupt change or discontinuity in poetry as the product of sublime inspiration. But the art of digression remained controversial, often highlighting an insecurity in literary criticism more generally. Alexander Pope used digressive footnotes in The Dunciad (1729) to parody the academic scholarship of Lewis Theobald. This technique anticipated the anti-Jacobin satire of Gifford, Canning, Frere and Mathias in the 1790s. All these writers, however, used digression to support the concept of ideal beauty: even the labyrinthine gothic library of The Dunciad shadows the orderly classical edifice of all civilised knowledge." @default.
