"This study illuminates the idea of nobility as display, as public performance, in Renaissance and seventeenth-century literature and society.

Posner examines the structures of public identity in the period. Situated at the intersection of rhetorical and historical theories of interpretation, this book contributes significantly to our understanding of the role of literature both in analyzing and in shaping social identity."--Jacket.
