Written by leading international scholars, the chapters examine the current state of the field and set out new directions for future study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reception of classical texts of literary criticism, such as Horace's \u003ci\u003eArs Poetica\u003c\/i\u003e, Longinus''s \u003ci\u003eOn the Sublime\u003c\/i\u003e, and most importantly, Aristotle's \u003ci\u003ePoetics\u003c\/i\u003e was a crucial part of the intellectual culture of Renaissance Italy. Revisiting the translations, commentaries, lectures, and polemic treatises produced, the contributors apply new interdisciplinary methods from book history, translation studies, history of the emotions and classical reception to them.

By tackling Renaissance poetics from a variety of cross-disciplinary perspectives, this book redefines the place of literary criticism in early modern culture and sheds light on its relevance to the making of modern discourses about the interplay of literature and the world. -- Eugenio Refini, Assistant Professor of Italian Studies, New York University, USA\u003cbr\u003eA timely and significant reengagement with Renaissance poetic theory in Italy, this volume offers a fresh and genuinely interdisciplinary take on a constituent element of early modern culture. The volume’s three main sections offer readers a series of engaging case studies which put early modern critical materials and contemporary theories and methodologies into direct conversation with each other. The collection as a whole relaunches the critical conversation on Renaissance Italy’s poetic theory, moving it beyond where Bernard Weinberg left it, with vision and ambition. -- Claudia Rossignoli, Lecturer in Italian Studies, University of St Andrews, UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures List of Contributors Acknowledgements  1.
