Dieser Band beschäftigt sich mit dem exemplarischen Thema des Wissenstransfers und des Umgangs mit Autoritäten in der frühneuzeitlichen niederländischsprachigen Literatur. Er bietet eine breite Übersicht möglicher Felder des Wissenswandels auf dem Gebiet der kolonialen Literatur, der Entstehung naturwissenschaftlicher Texte, literarischer Netzwerke sowie theologischer und politischer Schriften. Die Autoren untersuchen den Gebrauch klassischer und/oder zeitgenössischer Quellen und damit die Entstehung und Veränderung der Auctoritas sowie die Bedeutung dieser Entwicklungen für den frühneuzeitlichen Wissensdiskurs. Thematische Schwerpunkte sind dabei die Konzepte des Spiels, des Wunders, der Konversion und der Imitation.

"In this book, a renowned literary critic explores the various ways we have thought about scholars and scholarship through the ages. Why is it, Nuttall asks, that in the nineteenth century the life of the mind becomes equated with a kind of death in life?" "A. D. Nuttall focuses on three people, two real and one fictitious: the classical scholar Isaac Casaubon, who lived from 1559 to 1614; Mark Pattison, rector of Lincoln College, Oxford, in the nineteenth century; and Mr. Casaubon in George Eliot's Middlemarch. The three are intricately related, for Pattison was seen by many as the model for Eliot's Mr. Casaubon, and he was also the author of what is still the best book on Isaac Casaubon." "Nuttall provides a provocative interpretation of Middlemarch, arguing that it contains an anti-feminist thesis ("This is a young woman with highfalutin ideas who really needs some strong sex from a man to straighten her out.") coexisting with a feminist thesis ("The life of the mind, unsuccessfully essayed by Mr. Casaubon, is tragically withheld from his wife, Dorothea."). He shows that at nearly the same time Middlemarch was being written, Mark Pattison was recording in his Memoirs his own introverted intellectual life and self-lacerating depression. Pattison's book on Isaac Casaubon leads Nuttall back to this earlier figure, a great and fulfilled scholar who personifies the ideal of detailed, unspectacular truthtelling, an ideal often imperiled in our own culture, remarks Nuttall. He ends the book with a meditation on morality, sexuality, and the virtues of scholarship."--Jacket.
