Zustand: Gut. Ill.; 292 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Dustjacket a little teared. Otherwise good and clean. - The painting and the poetry of the Renaissance shared the same goal of imitating nature. English poets of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries frequently underlined the force of ut pictura poesis - the ancient analogy between poetry and painting - by means of ekphrases, or descriptions of works of art, and through metaphors drawn from the visual arts. The present study is concerned with various kinds of allusions and what they can tell us not only about Renaissance poets attitudes toward the visual arts, but also about their attitudes toward their own art of representation In their poems lies a neglected source of art criticism. Since, in her view, the language of Renaissance criticism offers our best approach to an understanding of the poetry of the period, Judith Dundas begins her book with Sir Philip Sidney and ends it with John Drydenthe two poet-critics who most clearly enunciate the importance of the analogy between poetry and painting. Between these boundaries are chapters on Shakespeare, Spenser, Chapman, Jonson, a group of seventeenth-century minor poets, and Milton. The order of the chapters is partly chronological and partly thematicdepending on the interest of particular developments in the poets allusions to the visual arts. The illustrations that accompany the text are chosen to suggest the background of pictorial reality against which the Renaissance poets were writing. They also show the painters response to the accomplishments of poetry that are, in themselves, a response to nature In including illustrations, Dundas does not wish to blur the distinction between poetry and painting, since it is in their very difference of medium that the arts achieve their triumphs. These triumphs led to the debate, known as the paragone, about which art is the superior; but, as Dundas notes, the significance of this debate is that it served as a topos for discussing the relationship of art to truth.

He also composed an important and influential treatise on the art of painting as it is viewed in ancient literature. This was a commission from the Earl of Arundela famous collector of antiquitieswhom he served as librarian. It is the relationship between this treatise, The Painting of the Ancients, and his annotations to the works of Sir Philip Sidney that is the focus of this book. Juniuss volume containing these works is in the University of Leiden Library; it is copiously annotated, in Latin, in Juniuss hand. Many of the same ancient authors that appear in The Painting of the Ancients (1638), his English translation of his De pictura veterum (1637), also figure in his annotations to Sidney. Like Sidneys Defence of Poesie, Junius was composing a defense of art against attacks by puritans and other iconoclasts. Dundass book shows how ut pictura poesis, the analogy between poetry and painting, was at the center of both these defenses. The Introduction offers a brief account of Juniuss life and interests, which encompassed not only the philological but the artistic, all held within a coherent view of a divinely ordered universe. Chapter 1 considers Juniuss purpose in his annotation of texts concerned with English literature. In the next chapter, Dundas proceeds to his defense of art and how English poets contributed to this. The next three chapters deal with Juniuss use of ancient authors, both poets and prose writers, in his treatise and in his annotations. With chapter 6, Dundas turns to Juniuss narrative summaries and his rhetorical glosses in the margins of Sidneys Arcadia. Underlinings, as well as these glosses, indicate his rhetorical interests. Finally, in chapter 7, Dundas explores, with the help of his own parallels between poetry and painting, the unity of the arts and their sisterhood in memory. Here is the justification for Juniuss close study of Sidney. Through his annotations, as well as through quotations in his treatise, the reception of this sixteenth-century poet in the seventeenth century is illuminated. At the same time, this study gives a fresh perspective on art theory in the Renaissance. Two appendices treat ancient authors important to Juniuss theory of art: Longinus and the Philostrati and Calli- stratus. Although Sidney did not know their work, his understanding of the imaginations role in invention is in keeping with theirs. / Contents List of Illustrations Preface Acknowledgments Note to the Reader Introduction 1.
