Any of you guys into Renaissance literature?

Any of you guys into Renaissance literature?

Yes, but good luck trying to talk about it in this fucking inept board.

>reading old books
Hahaha you fucking pseud

yeah the latin translations are keenoe

>not studying a philology
You fucking casual.

i like art history books talking about renaissance art, the more obscure literature of the period not so much.

Just Joyce, Chaucer, and Lovecraft

Caro m’è ’l sonno, e più l’esser di sasso,
mentre che ’l danno e la vergogna dura;
non veder, non sentir m’è gran ventura;
però non mi destar, deh, parla basso.

Is this aesthetic?

>The Letters of Marsilio Ficino
>Ten volumes

I wonder what these are like

Marlowe is a beauty, obviously Dante is excellent as well. Beyond that no, open to recommendations

Ludovico Ariosto MVP

Taking Dante as a Renaissance author can be problematic.

I view him as the culmination of medieval literature, but I think he is somewhat outside of it as well. Its the most perfect summary of the medieval mind, but in a way he closes the period by writing it. Maybe its just as me but I do sense something of the later mindset in him

I didn't say that there isn't a case for saying that, but it surely is problematic.

Now that I think about it, Renaissance is probably the biggest gap of literature I haven't read, Shakespeare notwithstanding. Any recommendations?

he’s Gothic which is the very beginning of the enlightenment, fausian spirit. its not renaissance at all though

Italian: Ludovico Ariosto
French: François Rabelais
Spanish: Garcilaso de la Vega

Didn't ask for your opinion, dude

Gothic? Wtf are you talking about

??? The guy asked for recommendations
