This excellent book displays all of Eden's characteristic focused learning and forensic sharpness of argument. Eden takes the reader on a serious journey, full of tight connections and startling insights, into the intellectual foundations of the Renaissance literary system. Rhetorical Renaissance is a significant contribution to our knowledge of the history of rhetoric and culture of the Renaissance, revealing how Renaissance writers thought and wrote by drilling down into the intellectual foundations of the age. -- Colin Burrow, University of Oxford In Rhetorical Renaissance, Eden again shows her extraordinary familiarity with both classical and Renaissance literary culture. Her nuanced analyses prove that we have not yet reached an exhaustive understanding of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century literary culture, and her many unique and brilliant insights will exert a significant influence on our understanding of it. -- Armando Maggi, University of Chicago
