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
