In Thomas Wilson's Arte of Rhetorique (1553), for example, “voyce” is defined as an instrument of “pronounciation” which should be subjected to “an apte orderinge” (244), avoiding such “faults” as speakingas though one “had Plummes in his mouthe” or blowing at one's “noystrels” (246), which call attention to bodily orifices that Bakh‐tin identifies with the “grotesque” and opposes to the closed and impenetrable “classical” construction of the body. See
- Greenblatt's . Renaissance Self‐Fashioning, 162 According to Frank Whigham, the desire for social climbing in Elizabethan England was fueled by the growth of the upper class coupled with a dwindling of the queen's resources, as a result of which there were “too many suitors competing for too few rewards” (8–10). Rhetorical manuals such as Puttenham's and Sturmius's were culturally produced in response to courtiers’ need for assets that could increase their chances in such intense competition for wealth and status. On the historical context of upper‐class mobility in Elizabethan England see also
