Author: Giovanni Della Casa
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Giovanni Della Casa's 'A Renaissance Courtesy-book: Galateo of Manners & Behaviours' is a quintessential work of Renaissance etiquette literature. Known for its practical advice and moral teachings, the book delves into the importance of proper social conduct and decorum in Italian society during the 16th century. Della Casa's writing style is both eloquent and didactic, offering guidelines on everything from table manners to personal grooming, making it a comprehensive guide to polite behavior in the Renaissance era. The literary context of the book lies in its reflection of the humanist movement and the growing emphasis on refinement and civility in European society. Della Casa's work stands as a testament to the cultural values and ideals of his time, influencing generations to come with its timeless wisdom. Giovanni Della Casa, a prominent Italian poet and diplomat, drew from his own experiences in the high society of Renaissance Italy to pen this insightful work on etiquette. His background in diplomacy and literature undoubtedly shaped his perspectives on social etiquette and manners, making him a fitting author for a book of this nature. With his expertise in both courtly affairs and literary arts, Della Casa crafted a masterful guide to proper behavior that continues to resonate with readers today. I highly recommend 'A Renaissance Courtesy-book: Galateo of Manners & Behaviours' to anyone interested in delving into the social customs and norms of Renaissance Italy, as well as those seeking timeless advice on navigating the complexities of human interaction with grace and elegance.
