Zustand: Gut. 461 p., w/ pictures and photos. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Minimally scuffed binding, otherwise in very good condition. - Content: The extraordinary richness of ancient Rome was a recurring inspiration to writers, artists, scholars and architects in sixteenth-century France. This engrossing book explores the ways in which the perception of Rome as a physical and symbolic entity stimulated intellectual endeavour across the disciplines. The French vision of Rome was initially determined by travel journals, guide books and a rapidly developing trade in antiquities. Against this background, Margaret McGowan examines work by writers such as Du Bellay, Grevin, Montaigne and Garnier, and by architects and artists such as Philibert de LOrme and Jean Cousin, showing how they drew upon classical ruins and reconstructions not only to re-enact past meanings and achievements but also, more dynamically, to interpret the present. She explains how Renaissance Rome, enhanced by the presence of so many signs of ancient grandeur, provided a fertile source of artistic creativity. Study of the fragments of the past tempted writers to an imaginative reconstruction of whole forms, while the new structures they created in France revealed the artistic potency of the incomplete and the fragmentary. McGowan carries the underlying themes of the book -perception, impediments to seeing, and artistic transformation - to the end of the sixteenth century when they culminated in the transfer to France of the grandeur that was Rome. Fellow and former vice-president of the British Academy, Margaret M. McGowan is research professor of French at the University of Sussex, where she was senior pro-vice-chancellor. Among her publications are Montaignes Deceits (1974) and Ideal Forms in the Age ofRonsard (1985). ISBN 9780300085358 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 1427 Original cloth with dust jacket.…
