Rome n’est plus Rome La polémique anti-italienne et autres essais sur la Renaissance suivis de La dignité de l’homme

Bringing together major studies on the French Renaissance, this volume addresses three central issues from the intellectual life of the sixteenth century: what was at stake in the anti-Italian controversy, the art of the tale and the short story, and lastly the notion of dignitas hominis, testifying to an unfulfilled desire for knowledge.
