Trade Review
Pastoral poems that reflect both the great issues, including the political and military intrigues, of Renaissance Italy, and the era's day-to-day life... A fluid and accessible translation. Toronto Globe and Mail 2010 A welcome opportunity for new audiences to discover an obscure yet arguably more emblematic side to the author. -- Cristina Rios TLS 2010
