Renaissance Transactions: Ariosto and Tasso (Inglese)

The controversy generated in Italy by the writings of Ludovico Ariosto and Torquato Tasso during the sixteenth century was the first historically important debate on what constitutes modern literature. Applying current critical theories and tools, the essays in Renaissance Transactions reexamine these two provocative poet-thinkers, the debate they inspired, and the reasons why that debate remains relevant today.
Resituating these writers&; works in the context of the Renaissance while also offering appraisals of their uncanny &;postmodernity,&; the contributors to this volume focus primarily on Ariosto&;s Orlando furioso and Tasso&;s Gerusalemme liberata.
