Pretexts of Authority: The Rhetoric of Authorship in the Renaissance Preface

Dunn describes the Renaissance rhetoric of authorship and authority by examining the locus where it appears in its most concentrated form--the preface. He shows how the notion of authorship changed in the shifts to the modern public sphere and from religion to science as legitimizing authorship.
