A Sudden Frenzy explores the development and impact of these Renaissance practices of improvisation and oral poetry. James K. Coleman shows how the confluence of humanist culture and the art of oral poetry resulted in an extraordinary turn toward improvisation and spontaneity that profoundly influenced poetry, music, and politics. By examining the culture of improvisation, this book reveals the ways in which Renaissance thinkers transcended cultural dichotomies, both in theory and in practice. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including letters, poetry, visual art, and philosophical texts, A Sudden Frenzy reveals the far-reaching and sometimes surprising ways that these phenomena shaped cultural developments in the Italian Renaissance and beyond."--Front jacket flap. 650 0 $a Vocal music $z Italy $y 15th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Folk poetry, Italian $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Performance poetry $z Italy $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Italian poetry $y 15th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Improvisation (Music) $x History $y 15th century. 650 0 $a Humanism $z Italy. 650 0 $a Renaissance $z Italy. 651 0 $a Italy $x Civilization $y 1268-1559. 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 $a Folk poetry, Italian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00929535 650 7 $a Humanism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963520 650 7 $a Improvisation (Music) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968306 650 7 $a Italian poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00980715 650 7 $a Performance poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01736512 650 7 $a Renaissance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01094518 650 7 $a Vocal music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01168379 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 648 7 $a 1268-1559 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Coleman, James K., 1981- $t Sudden frenzy. $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2022 $z 9781487563462 $z 9781487563462 $w (OCoLC)1281783596 830 0 $a Toronto Italian studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025835.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A616DAF638A911ED914067003BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
