John Florio: The Life of an Italian in Shakespeare's England by Frances A Yates
John Florio is best known to the present day for his great translation of Montaigne's Essays. To his contemporaries he was one of the most conspicuous figures of the literary and social cliques of the time. By her reconstruction of Florio's life and character, Frances Yates' 1934 text throws light upon the vexed question of his relations with Shakespeare.Dame Francis Yates (1899-1981) was a Reader in Renaissance History at the University of London's Warburg Institute. She was named a Dame of the British Empire in 1977 for her services to Renaissance studies, and she was the leading Renaissance scholar of her day. The Art of Remembering and The Rosicrucian Enlightenment are two of her other books.
