Opis

People learn by imitating other people. Authors do the same. This book explains how authors from the earliest stages of Western literature to the present day have imitated each other

Recenzje

Any scholar interested in literary imitation would profit from reading Imitating Authors, while those interested in Renaissance literary culture will find it particularly valuable. I know of no better introduction to the long, intricate history of imitatio. William Ramsay, Ben Jonson Journal
