Silenus Strategies: The Failure of Personal Emblems --Afterword --Notes --Works Cited --IndexThis book relates developments in the visual arts and printing to humanist theories of literary and bodily imitation, bringing together fifteenth- and sixteenth-century frescoes, statues, coins, letters, dialogues, epic poems, personal emblems, and printed collections of portraits. Its interdisciplinary analyses show that Renaissance theories of emulating classical heroes generated a deep skepticism about self-presentation, ultimately contributing to a new awareness of representation as representation. Hollow Men shows that the Renaissance questioning of “interiority” derived from a visual ideal, the monument that was the basis of teachings about imitation. In fact, the decline of exemplary pedagogy and the emergence of modern masculine subjectivity were well underway in the mid–fifteenth century, and these changes were hastened by the rapid development of the printed image.Italian literatureTo 1400History and criticismItalian literature15th centuryHistory and criticismItalian languageEarly modern, 1500-1700Art, RenaissanceItalyHistoryMasculinity in literatureMasculinity in artRenaissanceItalyElectronic books.Italian literatureHistory and criticism.Italian literatureHistory and criticism.Italian languageArt, RenaissanceHistory.Masculinity in literature.Masculinity in art.Renaissance850/.9/002Gaylard Susan1053216MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463268203321Hollow men2485002UNINA
