| Summary: | "The Italian Renaissance marks the beginning of the modern era in Western Europe. New energies are liberated, transforming the fabric of society, intellectual life, and indeed the whole vision of the world. Artists and writers bear witness to and actively participate in the unfolding dynamics and thereby play an important role in shaping the present. Through its exceptional collection of books of Renaissance Italian poetry, the Barbier-Mueller Foundation plays a dynamic role in awakening and remoulding our con{u00AD}scious{u00AD}ness of what is unquestionably a key moment in European culture. The Foundation has invited a fascinating array of major writers and scholars to explore this inheritance by writing freely and creatively on the subject, whether in the form of fiction, historical reverie or personal meditation."--Back cover |
