Synopsis
""The Fusion of Horatian and Aristotelian Literary Criticism, 1531-1555"" is a scholarly work written by Marvin T. Herrick and published as part of the Illinois Studies in Language and Literature series. The book explores the intersection of two influential literary traditions, Horatian and Aristotelian criticism, during the Renaissance period in Europe. The author examines how these two approaches to literary analysis were combined and adapted by Renaissance writers and scholars, particularly in Italy and France, during the mid-16th century. The book provides a detailed analysis of several key texts and authors, including Francesco Robortello, Julius Caesar Scaliger, and Joachim Du Bellay, and argues that the fusion of Horatian and Aristotelian criticism was a significant development in the history of literary theory. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Renaissance literature, literary theory, and intellectual history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
