Inspired by Virgils Georgics, this study conceptualizes Renaissance poetry as a domestic labor.When is literary production more menial than inspired, more like housework than heroics of the mind? In this revisionist study, Katie Kadue shows that some of the authors we credit with groundbreaking literary featsincluding Michel de Montaigne and John Miltonconceived of their writing in surprisingly modest and domestic terms. In contrast to the monumental ambitions associated with the literature of the age, and picking up an undercurrent of Virgils Georgics, poetic labor of the Renaissance emerges here as often aligned with socalled womens work. Kadue reveals how male authors engagements with a feminized georgic mode became central to their conceptions of what literature is and could be. This other georgic strain in literature shared the same primary concern as housekeeping: the necessity of constant, almost invisible labor to keep the things of the world intact. Domestic Georgic brings into focus a conception of literaryas well as scholarly and criticallabor not as a striving for originality and fame but as a form of maintenance work that aims at preserving individual and collective life.
