Imitation and Variation in Renaissance Italy (1350-1580) provides a comprehensive reappraisal of the construction of a literary canon in Renaissance Italy by exploring the multiple reuses of classical authorities. The volume reshapes current debate on the notion of canon by intertwining two perspectives: analyzing when and in what form a canon emerged, and determining the ways in which an ancient literary canon interacts with the urge to bestow a similar authority on some later and contemporaneous authors. Each chapter makes an original contribution to its selected topic, but the collective strength of the volume relies on its simultaneous appeal to readers in Italian Studies, intellectual history, comparative studies and classical reception studies. 410 0$aMetaforms$v15. 606 $aItalian literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aItalian literature$xClassical influences 606 $aCanon (Literature) 606 $aImitation in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aItalian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aItalian literature$xClassical influences. 615 0$aCanon (Literature) 615 0$aImitation in literature. 676 $a850.9 702 $aMorra$b Eloisa$f1988- 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511355203321 996 $aBuilding the canon through the classics$92548502 997 $aUNINA
