Half-Serious Rhymes: The Narrative Poetry of Luigi Pulci (Publications of the Foundation for Italian Studies, Universi)

Mark Davie
4.9/5 (29152 ratings)
Description:Byron, in Don Juan, called Pulci (1432���±84) ���«sire of the half-serious rhyme���­, and modelled his style on Pulci���­s major work, the Morgante. The phrase identifies the ambivalent quality of Pulci���­s verse, which was his distinctive legacy to the ���«romantic epic���­ of the renaissance, a genre he effectively initiated. Half-Serious Rhymes examines the nature of that ambivalence, tracing its origins in the circumstances in which Pulci wrote and the conflicting expectations of his audience at a time of rapid cultural change; more generally, it seeks to increase our understanding of Pulci���­s poetic technique, which inevitably brings it into the debate about his relation to and use of his sources (most conspicuously the anonymous Orlando Lauren-Ziano).We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
