Opis

Renaissance humanism takes as one of its subjects for inquiry the category of the human itself. This volume seeks to return critical assessments of the period's engagement with the non-human back to human concerns.

Recenzje

"A well-researched, rigorously argued, and tautly written study…Tuggle’s original and bold book is likely to provoke debate rather than consensus. In that, however, lies one of its main strengths. Many of its striking intuitions will invigorate further speculation about Sidney’s and Spenser’s poetry in light of contemporary ideas of what it means to be human." Danila Sokolov, Sidney Journal 38.1
