A Marvelous Solitude: The Art of Reading in Early Modern Europe - The Bernard Berenson Lectures on the Italian Renaissance Delivered at Villa I Tatti
Lina Bolzoni
The sense of reading as an intimate act of self-discovery—and of communion between authors and book lovers—has a long history. Lina Bolzoni returns to Petrarch, Boccaccio, Machiavelli, Montaigne, and Tasso, exploring how Renaissance humanists began to represent reading as a private encounter and a dialogue across barriers of time and space.
