Perspectives on early modern and modern intellectual history : essays in honor of Nancy S. Struever ; edited by Joseph Marino and Melinda W. Schlitt
Perspectives on Early Modern and Modern Intellectual History brings together several disciplines and historical periods, and three generations of scholars to celebrate the pedagogical and scholarly career of Nancy Struever, who taught in the Humanities Center and Department of History at The Johns Hopkins University. Twenty-three essays reflect the breadth of disciplinary competence and the standards of scholarly rigor that Struever instilled in her students and demonstrates in her scholarship. The book is organized around three divisional areas of inquiry: 'Renaissance Humanism,' 'Histories of Art,' and 'Rhetorics, Philosophies, and Histories.' The first part includes studies on Shakespeare and Ariosto; essays on Machiavelli, Caterina da Siena, and Lorenzo Valla; and Manetti on the library of Nicolas V. The section of histories of art contains contributions on L.B. Alberti, on early modern spectacle and the performance of images, and on rhetoric and art. The third section continues the discussion of rhetoric, history and literature from a more theoretical viewpoint. The book concludes with a bibliography of Struever's works
