Item description from seller

XLII, 321 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - At the turn of the sixteenth century, Italian playwrights rediscovered and recast an old art form the ancient Latin comedyto create witty, ribald, and intricately plotted plays that delighted Renaissance audiences with their clever reversals of gender and class roles. Five Comedies from the Italian Renaissance brings together the best of these works in lively new translations by Laura Giannetti and Guido Ruggiero, who also place the comedies in their cultural and social context. Presenting a fresh perspective on the Italian Renaissance, these deft translations allow modern readers to experience the original artistry and carnivalesque humor of these delightfully profane and irreverent literary classics. -- CONTENTS: The Comedy of Calandro by Bernardo Dovizi da Bibbiena; The Mandrake Root by Niccolo Machiavelli; The Master of the Horse by Pietro Aretino; The Deceived by the Academy of the Intronati of Siena; and The Venetian Comedy (anonymous). ISBN 9780801872587 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 472 15,2 x 2,1 x 22,9 cm, Broschiert / Paperback.
