Emma Gilby reassesses Descartes's writing by bringing his philosophical output into contact with the literary treatises, exempla, and debates of his age. She argues that humanist theorizing about poetics represents a vital intellectual context for Descartes's work, and offers readings of the controversies to which this poetic theory gives rise.

Autorenporträt
Emma Gilby took up her current post at the University of Cambridge after a Research Fellowship at Emmanuel College. Her first monograph, published in 2006, was on the concept of the sublime in seventeenth-century France. This work was recognized in 2007 with the award of a Philip Leverhulme Prize. Since then she has been the Crausaz-Wordsworth Fellow for Interdisciplinary Work in Philosophy at the Centre for Research in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Cambridge, and the Scaliger Fellow at the University of Leiden. These research opportunities have allowed her to pursue her interest in scholarship that spans the disciplines of philosophy, literary criticism, and intellectual history.
