Here, Jonathan Hughes establishes that there was a Renaissance in 15th-century England, encouraged by the discovery and translations of works of Greek philosophers and developments in science and medicine; and that vernacular writers in Gloucester's circle, such as John Lydgate and Robert Hoccleve, were of fundamental importance in exploring the meaning of the self and man's relationship with the natural world and the classical past. However, the appearance in 15th-century England of Dante's 'Commedia', the most popular work of the Middle Ages, served to remind writers and readers of the cost of intellectual enquiry: the loss of faith in a harmonious and beautiful world; the redemptive power of the love of a woman; and the tangible presence of an afterlife. Engagingly written and meticulously researched, this innovative study shines a new perspective on Dante scholarship as well as offering a unique anaylsis of intellectual thought and culture in 15th-century England"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Dante Alighieri, $d 1265-1321. $t Divina commedia $x Influence. 600 00 $a Dante Alighieri, $d 1265-1321 $x Appreciation $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a English literature $y Middle English, 1100-1500. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z England $x History $y To 1500. 651 0 $a England $x Intellectual life $y 1066-1485. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hughes, Jonathan, 1952-. $t Dante's Divine Comedy in early Renaissance England $d London ; New York : Bloomsbury Academic, 2022 $z 9781350146303 $w (DLC) 2021039863 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221103011956.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0AEC2B422A8711EDB7025AE94EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
