Subject and Object in Renaissance Culture: (Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture)

Series: Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture

This collection of essays brings together leading scholars of the early modern period, and offers a new focus on the literature and culture of the Renaissance.
