{"product_id":"9781138274501","title":"Illustrating the Past in Early Modern England : The Representation of History in Printed Books","description":"Through a close examination of the relationship of image to text in light of contemporary discussions of poetic and aesthetic practice, \u003cem\u003eIllustrating the Past in Early Modern England\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates that the struggle between the image and the word played a profoundly important role in early modern England''s emergent historical self-awareness. The discussion focuses on the publication history of several important illustrated books printed during the second half of the sixteenth century-including Holinshed''s \u003cem\u003eChronicles\u003c\/em\u003e (1577) and Foxe''s \u003cem\u003eBook of Martyrs\u003c\/em\u003e (1563, 1570) -in relation to contemporary works on history and poetics, such as Sir Philip Sidney''s \u003cem\u003eApology for Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e and Thomas Blundeville''s \u003cem\u003eThe true order and Method of wryting and reading Hystories\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eIllustrating the Past in Early Modern England\u003c\/em\u003e specifically answers two important questions concerning the resultant production of literary and historical texts in the period: Why did the use of images in printed histories suddenly become unpopular at the end of the sixteenth century? And what impact did this publishing trend have on writers of literary and historical texts?","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42965531754571,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":2647.03,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9781138274501-1.jpg?v=1785662944","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9781138274501","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
