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.
