Reviews

A pioneering and learned study that reveals the key role of Mantuan in the diffusion of Italian humanism in Renaissance England, and the way in which his poetry and religious beliefs shaped and modified English responses to pastoral up to the eighteenth century, particularly by writers such as Edmund Spenser and John Milton. Lee Piepho has made many discoveries, and this study of the reception of Mantuan is required reading for anyone interested in English humanism and sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English literature. (Jim Binns, University of York)
