In three chapters that review respectively the rhetorical faculties of inventio (the selection of materia), dispositio (the ordering of the same), and elocutio (its clothing with words), Gunsberg traces Tasso's ever-evolving and frustratingly contradictory thoughts on classical rhetoric and epic theory. The second chapter, on Renaissance translations of Ovid, is packed with interesting information and quotation, about attitudes to the relationship between text and gloss, original and translation, allegory and analogy, elocutio and inventio. By implication at least, the challenge of writing history engages only the next two stages of rhetoric: dispositio (arrangement) and elocutio (stylistic embellishment). |
