Beschreibung:
William E. Engel is Associate Professor of English at The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, USA.
Paying special attention to Sidney's Arcadia, Spenser's Faerie Queene, and Shakespeare's romances, this study engages in sustained examination of chiasmus in early modern English literature. The author's approach leads to the recovery of hidden designs which are shown to animate important works of literature; along the way Engel offers fresh and more comprehensive interpretations of seemingly shopworn conventions such as memento mori conceits, echo poems, and the staging of deus ex machina.
Chapter 1 Introduction: Speaking of Chiasmus; Chapter 2 Learning Justice and Practicing Penance: Phlegyas and David; Chapter 3 Echo in Arcadia: Sidney¿s Legacy; Chapter 4 Mirror and Allegory: Spenser¿s Calling; Chapter 5 Extreme Dramatic Symmetry: Shakespearean Triads; conclusion Chiastic Echoes;
