This review is from: The Hermaphrodite (I Tatti Renaissance Library) (English and Latin Edition) (Hardcover)
Like all the volumes in the I Tatti Renaissance Library this one is very well made, with an informative and not too wordy introduction by the translator Holt Parker as well as a large appendix and copious annotations.
I enjoyed the translation and commiserate with Mr. Parker about having to make sense of an often opaque text. `The Hermaphrodite' may have been quite racy in its time; today one is less shocked about some of the poems - I'd still prefer Aretino though. All in all, the work appears to have been meant to work as a calling card at least as much as an expression of youthful exuberance. This should not take away that this is overall an interesting work, well worth reading. |
