What is Vernacular Aesthetics in the Later Middle Ages: Politics, Performativity, and Reception from Literature to Music. Katharine W. Jager, ed. The New Middle Ages. London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2019. xii + 312 pp. €83.29. about?
Burrow's title perhaps invokes the ghost of Erich Auerbach's classic work Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature (1946). Certainly, Burrow's work places the Western rhetorical tradition back into its proper place, from which Auerbach expelled it. Burrow's scholarship is extensive, his close readings of classical and early modern texts exemplary, and his occasional humor delightful. Scholars of the early modern period will find much of value in the first two parts, while others may join them in appreciating the arguments of the third part and postscript. Burrow makes an utterly persuasive case for the continuity between ancient thought on imitation and that of the modern world.
