{"product_id":"9780521020923","title":"The Emergence of the English Author : Scripting the Life of the Poet in Early Modern England (Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe historical construction of literary authorship has long been of particular interest to literary scholars. Yet an important aspect of the historical emergence of the author - the literary biography or 'life of the poet' - has received scant attention. In The Emergence of the English Author, Kevin Pask studies the early life-narratives of five now-canonical English poets: Geoffrey Chaucer, Philip Sidney, Edmund Spenser, John Donne and John Milton. By attending to the changing shape of the lives of these poets, Pask produces a history of the developing conception of literary authorship in England from the late medieval period to the end of the eighteenth century, and offers a long-term sociological account of literary production. His book is the first full-scale history of the cultural construction of literary authority in early modern England.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48680682488043,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":122.69,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780521020923-1.jpg?v=1781625369","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780521020923","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
