Book Description
The Sonnets of Michael Angelo Buonarroti and Tommaso Campanella presents a lyrical journey through the minds of two of Italys most profound Renaissance figures. This anthology encompasses a variety of themes from the transient nature of beauty to the immutable forces of love and faith, showcasing the remarkable diversity and depth of the Renaissance literary style. Each piece stands as a testament to the eruditious blend of philosophy, art, and spirituality that marked this era. The collection invites readers to experience the richness of its poetic tapestry, integrating vivid imagery with profound introspection in a way that only this unique pairing of artists and thinkers could achieve. The contributing poets, Buonarroti and Campanella, bring to this anthology a fusion of backgrounds steeped in artistic mastery and radical philosophical inquiry, respectively. Both men navigated the turbulent waters of Renaissance thought, contributing significantly to the realms of literature, art, and political theology. This anthology does not merely present their work side by side but interweaves their voices, creating a dialogue that transcends the individual contributions and speaks to the universal concerns of human existence and creativity. This collection is essential for anyone drawn to the intricacies of Renaissance thought and the enduring power of poetic expression. It serves not only as a testament to the individual genius of Buonarroti and Campanella but as a vibrant conversation between their distinct yet harmonious perspectives. Readers seeking to immerse themselves in the depths of Renaissance creativity and philosophical discourse will find in this anthology a rare and enlightening compilation that bridges time and human sentiment, offering a unique lens through which to explore this pivotal era in history.

Book Description
The sonnets of Michelangelo and Campanella in rhymed English, by UK translator JOHN ADDINGTON SYMONDS. New 2014 Edition. Mask Press Oxford. John Addington Symonds (5 October 1840 - 19 April 1893) was an English poet and literary critic. A cultural historian, he was known for his work on the Renaissance, as well as numerous biographies about writers and artists. He also wrote much poetry inspired by homosexual love. Symonds's complete translation of Michelangelo's sonnets in 1878 was the first in English and the first based on the accurate 1863 Gausti text, which corrected Michelangelo the Younger's heterosexualizing of the poems in his 1623 edition. In this poetry anthology, published in 1887, he combined the sonnets of Tommaso Campanella and Michelangelo. "It is with diffidence that I offer a translation of Michael Angelo's sonnets, for the first time completely rendered into English rhyme, and that I venture on a version of Campanella's philosophical poems. My excuse, if I can plead any for so bold an attempt, may be found in this-that, so far as I am aware, no other English writer has dealt with Michael Angelo's verses since the publication of his autograph; while Campanella's sonnets have hitherto been almost utterly unknown. Something must be said to justify the issue of poems so dissimilar in a single volume. Michael Angelo and Campanella represent widely sundered, though almost contemporaneous, moments in the evolution of the Italian genius. Michael Angelo was essentially an artist, living in the prime of the Renaissance. Campanella was a philosopher, born when the Counter-Reformation was doing all it could to blight the free thought of the sixteenth century; and when the modern spirit of exact enquiry, in a few philosophical martyrs, was opening a new stage for European science."

Book Description
It is with diffidence that I offer a translation of Michael Angelo's sonnets, for the first time completely rendered into English rhyme, and that I venture on a version of Campanella's philosophical poems. My excuse, if I can plead any for so bold an attempt, may be found in this, that, so far as I am aware, no other English writer has dealt with Michael Angelo's verses since the publication of his autograph; while Campanella's sonnets have hitherto been almost utterly unknown. Something must be said to justify the issue of poems so dissimilar in a single volume. Michael Angelo and Campanella represent widely sundered, though almost contemporaneous, moments in the evolution of the Italian genius. Michael Angelo was essentially an artist, living in the prime of the Renaissance. Campanella was a philosopher, born when the Counter Reformation was doing all it could to blight the free thought of the sixteenth century; and when the modern spirit of exact enquiry, in a few philosophical martyrs, was opening a new stage for European science. The one devoted all his mental energies to the realisation of beauty: the other strove to ascertain truth. The one clung to Ficino's dream of Platonising Christianity: the other constructed for himself a new theology, founded on the conception of God immanent in nature. Michael Angelo expressed the aspirations of a solitary life dedicated to the service of art, at a time when art received the suffrage and the admiration of all Italy. Campanella gave utterance to a spirit, exiled and isolated, misunderstood by those with whom he lived, at a moment when philosophy was hunted down as heresy and imprisoned as treason to the public weal.
