Renaissance in Italy, Volumes 6 and 7 (of 7)
The Catholic Reaction
These two volumes complete John Addington Symonds's Renaissance in Italy under the title The Catholic Reaction. They describe how the free intellectual life of the Italian Renaissance was curbed in the later sixteenth century by Spanish domination, the Council of Trent, the Inquisition and the Index of forbidden books, and the rise of the Jesuits. Symonds then turns to the figures who lived through this period: the poet Torquato Tasso and his Jerusalem Delivered, the philosopher Giordano Bruno, the historian Paolo Sarpi, the later poets, Palestrina and the origins of modern music, and the Bolognese school of painters. His sympathies are liberal and his prose richly colored. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
