Sheila J. Nayar disinters the clash between humanist drives and print culture; places the rise of gunpowder warfare beside the equivalent rise in chivalric romance; and illustrates fraught attempts by humanists to hold on to classicist traditions in the face of seismic changes in navigation. Lively and engaging, this study illuminates not only how literature responded to radical technological changes, but also how literature was sometimes forced, through unanticipated destabilizations, to reimagine itself. By tracing the early modern human’s inter-animation with print, powder, and compass, Nayar exposes how these technologies assisted in producing new ways of seeing, knowing, and being in the world. | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | the printing press; History of Gunpowder; Early Modern Technology; The Magnetic Compass; Renaissance lit | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-96899-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-96899-5 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2019 |
