thesis
posted on 2014-04-25, 00:00 authored by Xiaoyi Zhang
My thesis explores the use of 'piacere' in the Commedia, and argues that there are the crescendo of 'piacere', the imitatio amoris, and the increase of the nuptial imagery which reflect the development of Italian lyric poetry and the importance of the Song of Songs to the Commedia.
