Recenzii
A compelling picture of how to reread cultural and literary history.
Traversing the worlds of Homer, Vergil, Petrarch, Shakespeare, and Milton, among others, Renaissance Suppliants is a lucid, capacious study. Throughout, it remains deeply attentive to the particular historical exigencies that gave rise to the continual reinvention of supplicatory rituals within literature from antiquity to the Renaissance.
This is an interesting, thoughtful, and wide-ranging study ... I beseech you to read it.
The book contributes generously to pre-existing scholarship regarding supplication, especially of Renaissance England ... The final product should interest scholars of not only literature but also philosophy, sociology, and political science.
This deft book pursues several distinguishable agenda which might have gotten in one another's way but in Whittington's hands don't.
