Lit in the Renaissance

------------------------------------------------------------------------

**Bibliography**

. Our literature seems fated to dramatize its historical misgivings with merciless persistence, comically and cruelly returning to relics that are reproachful, inescapable, and emblematic.

If literary texts like buildings and objects are dated, then we can ask whether and how a text deals with its own period. To stage a tragedy of anachronism is perhaps the most effective way of exorcising it, just as for the critic; perhaps, speaking about obsolescence is a defense against becoming obsolescent.

Writers tend to displace the threat of becoming vestigial to their characters, thus attempting to affirm their control and manifest their awareness. ” This text somehow acknowledges its historicity self-consciously would seem better fitted to survive its potential estrangement that a text that represses history.

The Book of the Courtier at a glace is kind of anachronism that is universal in complex societies. The drifting of the written word has been a theme of western thought form Plato to Derrida. To recognize writers drama of the survivor is to invest one’s work with a little more plasticity. Saul Morson writes “a text or genre will be vulnerable to parody … to the extent that it ignores or claims to transcend its own originating context; parody is most readily invited by an utterance that claims Tran historical authority. If culture continues this drifting within certain limits, it will serve as a institutionalize period of writing.
