The Culture Wars of the Late Renaissance: Skeptics, Libertines, and Opera - The Bernard Berenson Lectures on the Italian Renaissance Delivered at Villa I Tatti
Edward Muir
Muir explores an era of cultural innovation that promoted free inquiry in the face of philosophical and theological orthodoxy, advocated libertine morals, critiqued the tyranny of aristocratic fathers over their daughters, and expanded the theatrical potential of grand opera. In so doing, he reveals the distinguished past of today’s culture wars.
