In chapter one, Thorne notes the resemblance of the three stages Alberti posits in the creation of the historia--circumscriptio, compositio, and receptio luminum--to the inventia, dispositio, and co/ores rhetorical of rhetorical composition (3-4), and then, in a superb reading of As You Like It, shows how "interpenetration of the visual and the verbal occurs everywhere in Arden's iconic landscape," for instance, in the trees where Orlando carves his love poems (16). The introduction to this work surveys critical opinions concerning La Franciade and suggests its dispositio has been neglected. Mary Thomas Crane has explored the exercises of inventio and dispositio, what she calls "gathering and framing," as the basis for "a theory and practice of reading, writing, education and social mobility" which provides an alternative to the "individualistic" and "aristocratic paradigm" we usually associate with the English Renaissance. |
