Unrepentant Renaissance - From Petrarch to Shakespeare to Milton

Zusammenfassung Who during the Renaissance could have dissented from the values of reason and restraint, patience and humility, rejection of the worldly and the physical? This title counters the prevalent view of the period as dominated by the regulation of bodies and passions, intending to reclaim the Renaissance as an era happily churning with energies.
