Literary Forgery in Early Modern Europe, 1450-1800
Walter Stephens, Earle A Havens, Janet E Gomez
This comprehensive study of literary and historiographical forgery
goes well beyond questions of authorship. It spotlights the imaginative
vitality of forgery and its sinister impact on genuine scholarship.
This volume demonstrates that early modern forgery was a literary
tradition in its own right, with distinctive connections to politics,
Greek and Roman classics, religion, philosophy, and modern literature.
The
early modern explosion in forgery of all kinds—particularly in the
fields of literary and archaeological falsification—demonstrates a
dramatic shift in attitudes toward historical evidence and in the
relation of texts to contemporary society. The authors capture the
impact of this evolution within many cultural transformations, including
the rise of print, changing tastes and fortunes of the literary
marketplace, and the Protestant and Catholic Reformations.
The
thirteen essays draw on Johns Hopkins University’s Bibliotheca Fictiva,
the world’s premier research collection dedicated exclusively to the
subject of literary forgery. It consists of several thousand rare books
and unique manuscript materials from the early modern period and beyond.
