The Renaissance Battle for Rome

Competing Claims to an Idealized Past in Humanist Latin Poetry

Beschreibung

The Renaissance Battle for Rome examines a rhetorical battle fought simultaneously between many parties seeking prestige or legitimacy through the legacy of ancient Rome. It traces the contours of this battle across Renaissance Europe, waged by humanist Latin poets negotiating different claims on behalf of others and themselves in their work.
