Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book surveys the literary history of Italy from the death of Dante to the Counter-Reformation. In the fourteenth century, Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio transformed Italian from a local dialect into a masterpiece of elegant form. Italian authors flourished in the following century under the patronage of wealthy princes like the Medicis, leading to a great interest in the works of classical Greece and Rome. This elevation of classical works led to the second age of Latin language, with writers such as Politian and Bembo emulating the Romans in elegance and style. The Counter-Reformation and the Inquisition put an end to this flourishing literary environment, resulting in a decline in Italian literature from which it never fully recovered. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282706302_0
