Resumo: In this essay, I intend to investigate some aspects relating to the emulation of the ancient poets and the production of wit in the poetry of the 16th century, considering a specific reading of Shakespeare’s Venus and Adonis, published for the first time in London, in 1593. In this poem, the emulation of a passage from Ovid’s Metamorphoses is explicit, and defines the place of authority from which diverse rhetorical techniques of amplifying the topics of invention and elocution will be employed in order to produce the poem’s wit. Thus, I intend to discuss how the novelties of subject and poetical style are legitimized, at the same time that the relations of belonging to the ancient authority are rhetorically preserved. In order to do so, I propose to examine, beforehand, a prescriptive text of the time – Francis Meres’ Comparatiue Discourse – so as to investigate how the association of the “new” poets to the ancient authorities is being operated.

Nesse poema narrativo, a emulação de uma passagem das Metamorfoses de Ovídio é explícita e marca o lugar de autoridade a partir do qual diversas técnicas retórico-poéticas de amplificação do tópico inventivo e elocutivo serão empregadas para efetuar a agudeza do poema. Assim, proponho discutir como se legitimam as novidades de matéria e estilo poético em Vênus e Adônis ao mesmo tempo em que se preservam, retoricamente, as relações de pertencimento à autoridade antiga imitada. Para esse propósito, refiro-me a um texto preceptivo da época, o Discurso comparativo, de Francis Meres, para discutir como se realiza a operação de associação dos “novos” poetas a autoridades antigas.Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2013-12-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartigo de literaturaartigos de literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/matraga/article/view/19763Matraga - Revista do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras da UERJ; v. 20 n. 33 (2013): RetóricaMATRAGA - Journal published by the Graduate Program in Letters at Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ); Vol. 20 No. 33 (2013): Rhetoric2446-69051414-7165reponame:Matraga (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)instacron:UERJporhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/matraga/article/view/19763/14256Silvares, Laviniainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-07-09T04:04:32Zoai:ojs.www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br:article/19763Revistahttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/matragaPUBhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/matraga/oai||letrasmatraga@uerj.br2446-69051414-7165opendoar:2019-07-09T04:04:32Matraga (Online) - Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)false
