MedievalItalianHistoryPhilosophy

The political crisis provoked by the foreign invasion of Italy in 1494 was deeply felt throughout the country. Yet the heritage of such major figures as Lorenzo de' Medici, Poliziano, Pulci, Boiardo and Pico della Mirandola contributed to a sense of continuity in the cultural history of the peninsula. This book explores history, astrology, literature and thought in the complementary and contrasting states of Florence and Ferrara at the time of an astonishing 'continuity in crisis'.

Jane Everson is Senior Lecturer in Italian at Royal Holloway, University of London, and a specialist in Renaissance poetry and the romance epic in Italy. Diego Zancani, Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, has published widely on fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italian literature and language.

Reviews:

‘The eight chapters are prefaced by a stimulating introduction, and rounded off by a helpful index: in all a splendid collection of original and scholarly essays.’ — Paul Diffley, Italian Studies LVII, 2002, 167-8
