Her focus here is the advent of hybrid mythography, the transformation of mythological commentary by blending the scholarly with the courtly and the personal. Chance's in-depth examination of works by the major writers of the period demonstrates how they essentially co-opted a thousand-year tradition. Their intricate narratives of identity mixed commentary with poetry, reinterpreted classical gods and heroes to suit personal agendas, and gave rise to innovative techniques such as "inglossation"--the use of a mythological figure to comment on the protagonist within an autobiographical allegory. In this manner, through allegorical authorial projection of the self, the poets explored a subjective world and manifested a burgeoning humanism that would eventually come to full fruition in the Renaissance. No other work examines the mythographic interrelationships among these poets and their unique and personal approaches to mythological commentary. 606 $aCivilization, Medieval$xClassical influences 606 $aCriticism, Medieval$xHistory 606 $aLatin literature$xCriticism and interpretation$xHistory 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval$xClassical influences. 615 0$aCriticism, Medieval$xHistory. 615 0$aLatin literature$xCriticism and interpretation$xHistory. 676 $a938 700 $aChance$b Jane$0188272 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808310803321 996 $aThe emergence of Italian humanism, 1321-1475$94044487 997 $aUNINA
