The Victorians And Renaissance Italy
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
The book examines a wide range of Victorian literary, visual and historical representations of the Italian Renaissance. It looks at the High Renaissance poetic forms, such as the sonnet, by Victorian poets as diverse as Christina Rossetti and Coventry Patmore; at the poems and novels set in Renaissance Italy by writers such as Robert Browning and George Eliot; and at the different interpretations of the Renaissance put forward by cultural historians such as Ruskin, Pater and Symonds. The Victorians and Renaissance Italy is a fascinating examination of the Renaissance as a historical construct, invented by the nineteenth century, and reflecting nineteenth-century interests, preoccupations and ideologies.
