Summary
Emma Gilby reassesses Descartes's writing by bringing his philosophical output into contact with the literary treatises, exempla, and debates of his age. She argues that humanist theorising about poetics represents a vital intellectual context for Descartes's work, and offers readings of the controversies to which this poetic theory gives rise.
