- W3093708218 abstract "This chapter examines Erasmus’ commentary on the <italic>Nux</italic> against a period of religious writing that put him at the centre of the controversies driving the Reformation. In the poem, the tree presents a case against passers-by who pelt it and steal its fruit: the maxim is ‘not to harm those who help’. Like the poem, Erasmus’ commentary is didactic; it is dedicated to John More (Thomas More’s son). Beyond its amusing conceit (a talking tree), its brevity, style, and rhetorical polish made it an attractive subject for commentary; it was edifying too. Erasmus’ work explicates the tree’s arguments and comments on Latinity. The poem’s subject—an innocent’s self-defence against mistreatment—speaks to Erasmus’ personal circumstances, caught as he was between extremists using his discoveries to make arguments against him. This chapter suggests that, in his commentary, Erasmus not only returns to boyhood games by ‘playing with nuts’, but retreats to that time in his life where he was least encumbered and happiest." @default.
