Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Elizabethan-era academia, offering a unique glimpse into the lives and struggles of scholars at Cambridge University. The narrative unfolds through a series of interconnected plays, focusing on the experiences of two young students, Philomusus and Studioso, as they embark on a metaphorical pilgrimage to Parnassus, the mythical home of poetry and learning. Their journey takes them through various allegorical lands, representing different academic disciplines and challenges. They encounter colourful characters like the witty but dissipated Madido, the puritanical Stupido, and the pleasure-seeking Amoretto, each embodying distinct perspectives on education and the pursuit of knowledge. The plays are filled with humorous satire and social commentary, reflecting on the intellectual debates, societal expectations, and economic hardships faced by scholars in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The author skillfully weaves together references to classical literature, contemporary events, and popular culture, creating a rich tapestry of academic life during this transformative period in English history. The book offers valuable insights into the evolving role of universities, the tension between traditional and modern learning, and the timeless challenges of balancing intellectual aspirations with the practicalities of life. 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 9781330841471_0
