Description

In this detailed treatment of the myth of Adonis in post-Classical times, Carlo Caruso provides an overview of the main texts, both literary and scholarly, in Latin and in the vernacular, which secured for the Adonis myth a unique place in the Early Modern revival of Classical mythology. While aiming to provide this general outline of the myth's fortunes in the Early Modern age, the book also addresses three points of primary interest, on which most of the original research included in the work has been conducted. First, the myth's earliest significant revival in the age of Italian Humanism, and particularly in the poetry of the great Latin poet and humanist Giovanni Pontano. Secondly, the diffusion of syncretistic interpretations of the Adonis myth by means of authoritative sixteenth-century mythological encyclopaedias. Thirdly, the allegorical/political use of the Adonis myth in G.B. Marino's (1569-1625) Adone, published in Paris in 1623 to celebrate the Bourbon dynasty and to support their legitimacy with regard to the throne of France. Review This illuminating study of the early modern revival of the Adonis myth combines careful analysis of important works by Pontano, Marino and other authors with a nuanced understanding of the intellectual milieux through which their texts circulated, in Italy and beyond. Grounded on close knowledge of ancient sources and their transmission, Adonis is an exemplary demonstration of the importance of the history of scholarship for both Latin and vernacular literature from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries, highlighting the remarkable extent of interconnection between the arts, sciences and humanist philology in the Italian Renaissance. --Andrew Laird, University of Warwick, UK About the Author Carlo Caruso is Professor of Italian at the University of Durham, UK.
