“Comment a nom”: Humanism and Literary Knowledge in Auerbach and Rabelais
2012
Overview
This essay studies the relationship between Erich Auerbach's account of the beginnings of literary modernity, in his well-known work on Rabelais, and the Renaissance humanism that informs both his scholarly enterprise and Rabelais's fictions. Through a study of Rabelais's depictions of the female body it shows that Rabelais's text both breaks with earlier modes of understanding bodies and narratives and questions its own authority to do so. In a process at once ethical and rhetorical Rabelais provides both the grounding and the object of Auerbach's philology.
