Three Renaissance Comedies


Overview

"This volume presents English translations of three Italian Renaissance comedies not readily available to the English-speaking reader and director: Ariosto's ""Lena""; Ruzante's ""Posh Talk""; and Aretino's ""Talanta"". Of contrasting styles, they share some characteristics, which mirror the advance of all Italian literature from humanism to the Counter-Reformation, from Bembo to Sperone Speroni and from rudimentary or symbolic staging to a comparatively sophisticated realism in the treatment of stage space."
