Publisher's Synopsis
Luigi Pulci And The Animal Kingdom is a book written by John Raymond Shulters in 1920. The book focuses on the life and works of Luigi Pulci, an Italian poet who lived during the Renaissance period. Pulci was known for his epic poem, Morgante, which tells the story of a giant who becomes a Christian and joins the court of Charlemagne.Shulters delves into Pulci's use of animals in his poetry, which he argues is a unique feature of his work. Pulci often anthropomorphizes animals, giving them human qualities and personalities. Shulters examines the significance of this animal imagery in Pulci's work, arguing that it reflects the social and political climate of the time.The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Pulci's use of animals. Shulters explores Pulci's portrayal of animals as symbols of power, as well as his use of animals to critique human behavior. He also examines Pulci's use of animals as comic relief, and how they contribute to the overall tone of his poetry.Overall, Luigi Pulci And The Animal Kingdom provides a detailed analysis of Pulci's work, with a particular focus on his use of animal imagery. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Italian literature, as well as anyone interested in the Renaissance period and its cultural and artistic developments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
