{"product_id":"michelangelo-on-parnassus-gandolfo-cascio-9789004503519","title":"Michelangelo on Parnassus: The Reception of the Poems Among Writers","description":"Michelangelo wrote the \u003ci\u003ePoems\u003c\/i\u003e to directly confront themes to which as an artist he could not give the type of expression that he wished. To do so, he chose harsh language, which was distant from the transparent idiom of the Cinquecento. Critics have generally been cautious, often hostile, toward his 'second trade.' By contrast, writers, appreciating their quality, have greeted his poems in a completely different manner.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book presents an original investigation of the relationship of a variety of authors (Varchi, Aretino, Foscolo, Wordsworth, Stendhal, Mann, Montale, Morante and others) with Buonarroti's verse. Through close analysis of the texts, it shows why Michelangelo should hold a more noble position on Parnassus than that which historiography has hitherto granted him.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book is a translation of \u003ci\u003eMichelangelo in Parnaso: La ricezione delle Rime tra gli scrittori\u003c\/i\u003e (Venice: Marsilio Editori. 2019).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gandolfo Cascio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900450351X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004503519\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Gandolfo Cascio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44053102657791,"sku":"9789004503519","price":138.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7499da79-7dbf-4eff-a44c-d25ccfe5206d.jpg?v=1685022422","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/michelangelo-on-parnassus-gandolfo-cascio-9789004503519","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
