What is Prefaces to Renaissance Literature. about?
Since the assumptions and aims of Renaissance writers and thinkers were more or less remote from those of our time, the modern reader needs to understand Renaissance literature in the spirit in which it was written. Even though that literature was of infinite variety, special stress must be laid on the influence of the Christian and classical traditions and the tensions between them. This book—which consists of lectures given at Oberlin College, The Claremont Graduate School, and the University of Rochester—focuses on some traditions and modes of thought and feeling that gave Renaissance writing its centrality and diversity.
