| Abstract |
"By using the fresh investigative language of cognitive history, a symbiosis of the methods of cognitive science and historical inquiry, this book departs from almost all previous approaches to Renaissance studies. This book will be of interest not only to Renaissance scholars but also to students interested in Renaissance history and the nature of the creative tradition"-- Provided by publisher. |
