Erasmus on Literature by Mark Vessey
Written more than half a century before Sir Philip Sidneys well-known Apology for Poetry, Erasmus Ratio or System is an almost lost masterpiece of Renaissance literary theory and interpretive practice, now available for the first time in English in a convenient student edition."Fans of Praise of Folly and the Colloquies ought to open Erasmus on Literature to see what and how Erasmus wanted them to readScholars of theology will scrutinize the edition carefully, as Erasmus’s contemporaries did. Seminaries in need of a book that teaches exegesis more thoroughly than Augustine now have one, ready for immediate use."
-- Willis Goth Regier, University of Illinois * Renaissance and Reformation *“The need for an accessible version of this work has now been filled by this lucid translation which…These parerga make this volume useful to students and advanced researchers alike.” -- Ralph Keen, University of Illinois * Erasmus Studies *
