About this book
A History of Literary Criticism in the Renaissance by Joel Elias Spingarn gives special attention to the influence of Italy on the formation and development of modern classicism. The discussion of poetry describes a defense attempted for the most part on grounds set forth by Horace in his Ars Poetica. The account of Horace's views joins the instructiveness and pleasure of poetry to a conception of early poets as sages, prophets, and inventors of arts and sciences.
The discussion of Giraldi says that he regarded the romantic poems of Ariosto and Boiardo as both national and Christian works. The account of Giraldi's discourse explains that Aristotle had not known poems dealing with many actions of many men, making demands for conformity to his rules absurd.
