The Pagan Dream of the Renaissance.
Boston: Weiser Books, 2005. First Softcover Edition. Softcover. Quarto, vi + 292pp. Glossy printed card wrappers. B&w illustrations, list of illustrations, index. The first softcover edition of this study of the Renaissance fascination with all things pagan, and the way it entered into the public imagination of the time. From the publisher: "This well-illustrated work is the first book to introduce the general reader to the revival of the pagan imagination in Renaissance culture and art. It also provides new perspectives on this hidden stream of spirituality that is so well reflected in art, monuments, and literature, but, until now, has been poorly understood from an inner perspective." Appears unread (no creasing to spine), a bit of light shelfwear, corners lightly bumped, else a tight, unmarked VG+ copy. Item #74779
