Bøker av Lise Gosseye

Using a canonical work of Dutch literature, Ooghentroost (Consolation for the eyes), as a focal point, this books examine the development of literature as a specific discursive domain during the early modern period. Through her analysis of the work, author Lise Gosseye traces how literature begins to be set apart from the scientific and religious domains in early modern discourse and how this development marks the rise of modernity.
