Synopsis
The Pentameron And Pentalogia by Walter Savage Landor surveys two connected works built around conversation, criticism, and Renaissance literary giants. The Pentameron presents imagined dialogues between Petrarch and Boccaccio, discussing Dante, the Decameron, and the broader arc of Italian letters, with a focus on poetry, prose, and the theory of criticism. Interwoven are reflections on the poets’ styles, the relative merits of Virgil, Homer, and Lucretius, and the purpose of literature in guiding virtue and taste. The Pentalogia adds Five Dramatic Scenes—dramatic sketches such as Essex and Bacon and the Parents of Luther—paired with editor’s notes and translator’s remarks that illuminate the author’s aims, the historical setting, and the tension between praise and critique. The volume also features Beatrice, Dante, and other figures from medieval and early modern literature as interlocutors in a meditation on genius, tradition, and the responsibilities of criticism. This edition blends homage, dialogue, and literary analysis into a unique exploration of classical influence and modern reflection on authorship.
