A Marvelous Solitude: The Art of Reading in Early Modern Europe

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.
