The Renaissance of Letters traces the multiplication of
letter-writing practices between the fourteenth and seventeenth
centuries in the Italian peninsula and beyond to explore the
importance of letters as a crucial document for understanding the
Italian Renaissance. This edited collection contains case studies,
ranging from the late medieval re-emergence of letter-writing to
the mid-seventeenth century, that offer a comprehensive analysis of
the different dimensions of late medieval and Renaissance
letters-literary, commercial, political, religious, cultural,
social, and military-which transformed them into powerful early
modern tools. The Renaissance was an era that put letters into the
hands of many kinds of people, inspiring them to see reading,
writing, receiving, and sending letters as an essential feature of
their identity. The authors take a fresh look at the correspondence
of some of the most important humanists of the Italian Renaissance,
including Niccolo Machiavelli and Isabella d'Este, and consider the
use of letters for others such as merchants and physicians. This
book is essential reading for scholars and students of Early Modern
History and Literature, Renaissance Studies, and Italian Studies.
The engagement with essential primary sources renders this book an
indispensable tool for those teaching seminars on Renaissance
history and literature.
