Description
"A strikingly original and provocative critical interpretation of the ideology of early Florentine humanism; or the reception and continued transmission of humanist ideology in the U.S. today ; and of a significant but neglected text on Lucretia by Coluccio Salutati .... - Margaret W. Ferguson (back cover). "Jed analyzes the historiographic myth of the rape of Lucretia and shows how its refiguration by the humanist Salutati reveals the rhetorical and ideological relationship between sexual violence and humanistic discourse."--pub. webpage.
