Synopsis
Excerpt from Amyntas: A Tale of the Woods
Train of the Duke's brother, Cardinal Luigi, to whom the piece was dedicated; his early epic poem, Rinaldo, had given him an additional grace of introduction, to a court that piqued itself on its taste; and though the trumpet of his greater epic, the Jerusalem, which he had already begun to fashion, has carried his name to the ears of after ages with so much gravity and loftiness, he was at that time, by his own confession, and as his Miscellaneous Poems abundantly testify, a great lover Of the fair sex; sowing his panegyrics, and reaping his smiles, in all the sunny favour of southern vivacity.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a translation of an early work by a renowned poet of great calibre, who was equally adored by his fellow poets and the critical establishment. It is an exquisite example of pastoral drama, inspired by an earlier play, 'Lo Sfortunato', which the author is said to have watched as a young man. The introduction provides a wealth of context for the play, detailing the author's motivations, which were in part to explore themes of glory, reputation and love, within the trendsetting court society of their day. The author was a successful poet in their own right, penning not only this pastoral drama, but also epic poems and marriage songs that were celebrated for their grace and refinement. The author's extensive experience in the social sphere of the court as both a lover and a performer adds a richness of texture to their work, which can be seen in the nuance of this play's characters and themes. This book will be of interest to students of literature who are eager to learn more about the pastoral genre. The author's unique and impressive handling of the dialogue and character motivations will also be of great interest to playwrights and theatre professionals. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243486649_0
