About the Author

Considered a truly Renaissance man, Pietro Bembo was the most influential cultural figure of his time. He knew all the men of letters of his age, was a lover of Lucrezia Borgia, and a favorite of Popes Leo X, Clement VII, and Paul II, who finally made him a cardinal in 1539. Bembo, who modeled mostrar mais himself on Petrarch, wrote in both Latin and Italian. For his important literary work, a dialogue on love titled Gli Asolani (1505), Bembo took inspiration from the Symposium of Plato but followed Petrarch's Tuscan. Bembo prepared classic editions of Dante and Petrarch and defended their use of Tuscan Italian. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Críticas

The Prettiest Love Letters in the World: Letters… por Richard Shirley Smith

These letters are adulatory, emotionally effusive, poetic. One wonders what Bembo's motives were. Was he fishing for court favors from the duchess? Or were these two really soul mates, as they claimed to be? On page 41, the editor says that "she made use of Bembo to expedite her interests." Were they using each other? In Letter XXX he asks her to give him a job. Is there genuine passion in these letters or only obligatory hyperbole? Is this true love or only self-serving flattery?

Lord Byron apparently believed in the sincerity of their motives. It was he who praised the letters as "the prettiest" in the world. But humorist Will Cuppy had doubts, noting that her poet friends tended to show up at mealtimes.

In any case, this book is an up-close and personal glimpse into Renaissance Italy. The preface of thirty-eight pages is an excellent introduction to the letters. Artfully illustrated.… (mais)
