Beginning with Petrarch's Africa, Warner offers major new interpretations of Renaissance epics both famous and forgotten-from Milton's Paradise Lost to a Latin Christiad by his near-contemporary, Alexander Ross-thereby shedding new light on the development of the epic genre. For advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars in the fields of Italian, English, and Comparative literatures as well as the Classics and the history of religion and literature. 606 $aEpic poetry, European$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEuropean poetry$yRenaissance, 1450-1600$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aEpic poetry, European$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEuropean poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.1/3209/0094/ 700 $aWarner$b J.
