| Description: |
An introduction to the major emblem books of the 16th and 17th centuries, and to the contexts in which they flourished. Five chapters are devoted to critical readings of particular emblem books, and the other four are mainly contextual, and Bath has concentrated on accessible texts. |
| Synopsis: |
This book seeks to define the emblem's importance in the literary systems of English Renaissance culture. It examines the relationship between emblems and formal rhetoric and explores the place which the emblem occupied in the theoretical treatises on symbols of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. |
