Thursday: Education in Virtue: the Renaissance liberal arts and sciences What is the value of an education in the humanist encyclopedia of learning? And more specifically, how does a grounding in the arts of rhetoric, as employed across many literary, and at times hybrid, genres (declamation, satire, epigram, history, dialogue) serve More’s public life and political thought? The seminars of the first week consider the intellectual formation of the humanist, particularly early Tudor, civic magistrate and diplomat. Week 1: Pedagogy, Rhetoric and Political Thought Each theme will find application in the interpretation of Utopia and other Morean writings. This is a provisional outline of our themes, and there is considerable scope for adjusting these lists as we progress in our discussions. Guidance will be given as to essential reading, helpful background reading and more exploratory material, depending on the interests of the group. Each of the seminar topics draws on large fields of interdisciplinary scholarship in a necessarily introductory way.
