Things Reborn: Essays on the Renaissance
A collection of essays
Sukanta Chaudhuri
Things Reborn brings together four decades of scholarship on the Renaissance by Sukanta Chaudhuri, one of the foremost scholars of the Early Modern in our time. Written between 1984 and 2016, these twenty-nine essays are collected here for the first time, and constitute an ongoing and illuminating engagement with the European and English Renaissance, as well as Bengal's encounter with it in the nineteenth century. Along with figures such as Virgil, Petrarch, Dante, Langland, Erasmus, Shakespeare, and Bacon, Chaudhuri's essays engage with the rich terrain of early modern philosophy, philology, science, and art. The collection is not just indispensable for specialists in the field, but also those interested in the present and future of literary studies.
