English Humanism and the Reception of Virgil c. 1400-1550
De:Day Matthew
Contenu
Matthew Day reassesses how the spread of Renaissance humanism in England impacted the reception of Virgil. In emphasizing the very gradual pace of humanist development and the continuous influence of medieval scholarship, a more qualified view is reached of how humanism did and (just as importantly) did not affect Virgilian reading and translation.
