Following in the footsteps of a sixteenth-century Spanish bishop we gain a fresh view of Thomas More's Utopia. Comparing Bayle's Dictionary with Tristram Shandy we suddenly enter into Laurence Sterne's mind. A seemingly narrow dispute among Elizabethan critics for and against rhyme turns into an early debate on English national identity. Robert Louis Stevenson's story "The Bottle Imp" throws a new light on Bronislaw Malinowsky's attempts to discover meaning in the "kula" trading system among the Trobriand Islanders. Throughout, Ginzburg's inquiry is informed by his unique microhistorical sensibility, his attention to minute detail, and his extraordinary synthesizing imagination.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USAuthor: Carlo GinzburgGenre: Literary CriticismTopic: Society & CultureBook Series: Italian Academy LecturesRelease Year: 2000 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
