Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the influence of classical myths in the popular traditions of Italy, and how they were transformed by the minstrels and poets of the Middle Ages. The author presents a detailed analysis of the survival of these myths, their assimilation into medieval storytelling, and their impact on the development of Italian literature. Through a series of case studies, the book explores how these ancient tales were blended with medieval themes to create a new and vibrant body of work. The author argues that this fusion of classical and medieval elements laid the foundation for the literary renaissance that would follow, and provides a fascinating insight into the creative process of a pivotal period in European history.
