Resumo: In the 16th and 17th centuries, the conceptual significance of “imagination” was indebted primarily to Aristotle’s theory of the phantasia, translated as imaginatio and thoroughly discussed in treatises on poetry, rhetoric and philosophy. In this text, I intend to briefly explore some ideas concerning the historical specificity of the notion of “imagination” in Renaissance poetics, attempting to avoid a transhistorical approach to the study of poetry and its interpretation. In order to do this, I will present specific passages from Philip Sidney’s The Defense of Poetry (1595), Francis Bacon’s The Advancement of Learning (1605) and Shakespeare’s works.

Neste artigo, propõe-se explorar brevemente algumas ideias relativas à especificidade histórica da noção de “imaginação” na poética renascentista, com vistas a evitar as abordagens transistóricas da poesia e de sua interpretação. Para tanto, serão comentados trechos específicos dos tratados The Defense of Poetry (1595), de Philip Sidney, Advancement of Learning (1605), de Francis Bacon, bem como algumas passagens das obras de William Shakespeare.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2019-08-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/letras/article/view/3804810.5902/2176148538048Letras; Edição Especial - 1/2019: Estudos poéticos e retóricos: novas perspectivas; 33-482176-14851519-3985reponame:Letras (Santa Maria.
