Renaissance Transactions by Valeria Finucci

Renaissance Transactions by Valeria Finucci

The controversy generated in Italy by the writings of Ludovico Ariosto and Torquato Tasso during the sixteenth century was the a historically important debate on what constitutes modern literature. This book re-examines these two poet-thinkers, the debate they inspired, and the reasons why that debate remains relevant.

“Most of the leading and well-known scholars of the Italian Renaissance are represented here with their sundry and complementary viewpoints. . . The presence of so many different critical voices conveys a sense of this volume as a summa of current Renaissance criticism.”—Giuseppe Mazzotta, Yale University

Valeria Finucci is Associate Professor of Italian at Duke University. She is the author of The Lady Vanishes: Subjectivity and Representation in Castiglione and Ariosto and the coeditor of Desire in the Renaissance: Psychoanalysis and Literature.
