True wit is nature to advantage dress'd --$tINDEX 330 $aIn The Age of Criticism five key concepts of the literary criticism synthesized in the late Renaissance in Italy are examined in depth to show how the shape of literary attitudes in the whole modern world was considerably influenced and determined by sixteenth-century Italian philosophers and literary theorists. The five concepts examined are: poetry as imitation; poetry as a concrete-universal; poetry as a purgation; the poetic imagination; and the conflict between poetry as art and poetry as furor. For the sake of emphasizing the unity of the development of literary theory, the concern is almost entirely with the Italian writers of the period between 1540 and 1613, but the ultimate significance of their work lies in their contribution to the development of the culture of the West in modern times. Sperone Speroni, Ludovico Castelvetro, Francesco Patrizi, Giacopo Mazzoni, Torquato Tasso, and Paolo Beni emerge as literary critics of major importance. 606 $aItaly 606 $aWest European History 606 $aHISTORY / Europe / Italy$2bisacsh 606 $aRenaixement$2thub 607 $aItàlia$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 4$aItaly. 615 4$aWest European History. 615 7$aHISTORY / Europe / Italy. 615 7$aRenaixement 700 $aHathaway$b Baxter$012591 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911008422003321 996 $aThe Age of Criticism$94394420 997 $aUNINA
