The Reception of Aristotle’s Poetics in the Italian Renaissance and Beyond
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-25143-4 (ISBN)
The reception of classical texts of literary criticism, such as Horace’s Ars Poetica, Longinus's On the Sublime, and most importantly, Aristotle’s Poetics was a crucial part of the intellectual culture of Renaissance Italy. Revisiting the translations, commentaries, lectures, and polemic treatises produced, the contributors apply new interdisciplinary methods from book history, translation studies, history of the emotions and classical reception to them. Placing several early modern Italian poetic texts in dialogue with twentieth-century literary theory for the first time, The Reception of Aristotle’s Poetics in the Italian Renaissance and Beyond models contemporary practice and maps out avenues for future study.
Bryan Brazeau is Senior Teaching Fellow in Liberal Arts, University of Warwick, UK.
