Recenzii
The Globe on Paper is a superb examination of a collection of texts not usually studied together. In this tight, coherent study centered on sixteenth-century writers' attempts to compose unified narratives out of what at first blush seemed a plurality of pasts, Marcocci offers a valuable reinterpretation of some well-known sixteenth-century histories, presenting a new way of reading the subgenre of Renaissance histories of the world, while elucidating the creativity and innovation that characterized the writing of history during the "open Renaissance" of the sixteenth century.
Marcocci takes us on a fascinating journey through sixteenth- and early seventeenthcentury imagination and suggests a new reading of texts that cannot be interpreted by the letter but must rather be understood in their appropriate contexts and ways of thinking about their authors, compilers, and patrons.
