Synopsis
Dedicated to discussing writings of the European Renaissance that dissented from the dominant values of the period.
Who during the Renaissance could have dissented from the values of reason and restraint, patience and humility, rejection of the worldly and the physical? These widely articulated values were part of the inherited Christian tradition and were reinforced by key elements in the Renaissance, especially the revival of Stoicism and Platonism. This book is devoted to those who did dissent from them. Richard Strier reveals that many long-recognized major texts did question the most traditional values and belong to a Renaissance far more unconstrained and affirmative than much recent scholarship has allowed.
The Unrepentant Renaissance counters the prevalent view of the period as dominated by the regulation of bodies and passions; the book aims to reclaim the Renaissance as an era happily churning with surprising, worldly, and self-assertive energies. Reviving the perspective of Burckhardt and Nietzsche, Strier provides fresh and uninhibited readings of texts by Petrarch, Shakespeare (sonnets and plays), Loyola, Montaigne, Descartes, and Milton. Strier’s lively argument, expressed in lucid prose, is meant to stir debate throughout the field of Renaissance studies.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Gut. XII, 304 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 - REASON AND RESTRAINT, PATIENCE AND humility, rejection of the worldly and the physicalwho during the Renaissance could have dissented from such values? They were part of the inherited Christian tradition and were reinforced by key Renaissance developments, especially the resurgence of Stoicism and Platonism. The Unrepentant Renaissance is devoted to moments and texts that did dissent from them. Reviving the perspective of Jacob Burckhardt and Nietzsche, Strier counters the view of the period as dominated by the regulation of bodies and passions, revealing it to be far more bumptious and affirmative than much recent scholarship has allowed. His book reclaims a vision of Renaissance and post-Reformation Europe as an era churning with surprising, worldly, and self-assertive energies. It does this by providing fresh and uninhibited readings of a wide range of texts: lyric poems by Petrarch, Shakespeare, and George Herbert; Mores Utopia and Erasmuss Praise of Folly, comedies, histories, and tragedies by Shakespeare; Ignatius Loyolas Spiritual Exercises, a selection of Montaignes essays, and Descartess Discourse on the Method-, and Miltons major poems and some of his prose. Striers provocative readings and lively argument will stir debate throughout the field of Renaissance and post-Reformation literary and cultural studies.
