Description:With this volume, Jane Chance concludes her monumental study of the history of mythography in medieval literature. Her focus here is the advent of hybrid mythography, the transformation of mythological commentary by blending the scholarly with the courtly and the personal.Chance's in-depth examination of works by the major writers of the period--including Dante, Boccaccio, and Christine de Pizan--demonstrates how they essentially co-opted a thousand-year tradition. Their intricate narratives of identity mixed commentary with poetry; reinterpreted classical gods and heroes to suit personal agendas; and gave rise to innovative techniques such as "inglossation," the use of a mythological figure to comment on the protagonist within an autobiographical allegory. In this manner, through allegorical authorial projection of the self, the poets explored a subjective world and manifested a burgeoning humanism that would eventually come to full fruition in the Renaissance.No other work examines the mythographic interrelationships between these poets and their unique and personal approaches to mythological commentary.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
