Description: Sir John Harington and the Book as Gift by Jason Scott-Warren Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book offers an innovative reassessment of one of the most colourful denizens of the English Renaissance court, Sir John Harington (1560-1612). Based upon a wealth of new evidence, it shows how Harington used his writings to play the patronage system, reconstructing his complex and often devious designs. Publisher Description Sir John Harington (1560-1612) has long been recognized as one of the most colourful and engaging figures at the English Renaissance court. Godson of Queen Elizabeth, translator of Ariosto, and inventor of the water-closet, he was also a lively writer in a wide variety of modes, and an acute commentator on his times. This study opens a new perspective on Haringtons literary production by attending to the fact that almost all of his writings were designed as gifts.Combining detailed readings and first-hand historical research, Jason Scott-Warren reconstructs the complex, often devious agenda which Harington wrote into his books as he customized them for specificindividuals and occasions. Offering a wealth of insights into self-fashioning and the pursuit of patronage, this study makes a persuasive case for the significance of material culture to textual interpretation. It will be of interest to all who work on the early modern period, and in particular to historians of the book.
