A Marvelous Solitude: The Art Of Reading In Early Modern Europe (The Bernard Berenson Lectures On The Italian Renaissance Delivered At Villa I Tatti)

The sense of reading as an intimate act of self-discovery--and of communion between authors and book lovers--has a long history. Lina Bolzoni returns to Petrarch, Boccaccio, Machiavelli, Montaigne, and Tasso, exploring how Renaissance humanists began to represent reading as a private encounter and a dialogue across barriers of time and space.
