• W227300532 abstract "Jacob Blevins. Humanism and Classical Crisis: Anxiety, Intertexts and Miltonic Memory. Columbus, OH: Ohio State University Press, 2014. ix + 172pp. $62.95. Any new book on relationship between Renaissance writers and world is entering already crowded field, but Jacob Blevins is right to note that psychic conflict between humanists and their rediscovery and literary representation of (31) has not yet been explored. Blevins finds epicentre of titular classical crisis in material, textual, and ideological ruins of Rome, which was a that in sense had to be recovered and restored, but ultimately replaced (31). He opens Humanism and Classical Crisis arresting contention that the act of literary appropriation of texts and culture during early modern period ... is primarily result of a process of identity construction and only secondarily a matter of historical literary development (1). Blevins uses term psychical rather than psychological throughout book to sidestep latter word's associations clinical practice, and psychoanalytical angle of his approach is evident in his claim that one must approach intertextuality as fundamentally part of a process, and any given text a kind of amalgamation of (1). Blevins's psychoanalytical approach, of course, is indebted to Harold Anxiety of Influence, and Blevins recognises that Bloom's ideas regarding origins of literary creation are foundation of current study (3). Nevertheless, one of most obvious shortcomings in Harold theory of influence is that key concept, 'anxiety', is never systematically or analytically dealt with (14), and this shortcoming is ably and amply remedied in Humanism and Classical Crisis. In a first chapter remarkable for its concision and lucidity, Blevins delineates his understanding of Lacan's three orders of Imaginary, Symbolic, and Real. But this theoretical framework is not established in order to launch a Lacanian critique of Bloom; rather, Blevins intends only to use Lacan as a supplement to realise more fully implications of Bloom ... for Renaissance humanism (25). Chapter Two begins a discussion of Pleiade, and Blevins's analysis of du Bellay's Les Antiquitez de Rome yields a number of interesting tidbits that would have warranted more extended investigation. subsequent section on Jonson and Shakespeare's Roman plays is more satisfying. Starting from solid, if not exactly revolutionary, observation that these plays involve an ideological struggle between a past Rome and a changing present (45), Blevins goes on to tease out ramifications of this assertion. In Catiline and Julius Caesar all characters struggle to come to terms a vision of Rome that is idealised but not realised(51), and this unresolved tension renders these plays archetypal embodiments of humanist anxiety regarding Rome. Chapter Three's analysis of Marvell's twin poems, Hortus and The Garden, provides a neat microcosm of book as a whole. Blevins rightly identifies Marvell's classicism as representative of humanism's pre-enlightenment culmination of literary expression (67). Considered in isolation, Hortus contains absolutely nothing English ..., nothing Christian, nothing that identifies or creates a seventeenth-century literary voice (69); yet The Garden is more than just a straightforward imitation of its Latin counterpart. …" @default.
