Five Italian Renaissance Comedies La Mandragola Lena Il marescalco Gl'ingannati The Faithful Shepherd - The Mandrake - The Stablemaster - The Deceived
Author: Bruce Penman (Editor), Niccolo Machiavelli, Ludovico Ariosto, Battista Guarini, Pietro Aretino
The plays in this volume all represent in some way the sophistication and subtlety of the Renaissance. From Machiavelli's sharp satire on corrupt clergy to Guarini's robust pastoral; from Ariosto's and Aretino's vivid and suggestive portraits of Ferrara and Mantua, which reveal the many themes and relationships of those ducal courts.
