Dissimulation and the Culture of Secrecy in Early Modern Europe Paperback - 2012
by Jon R. Snyder
From the rear cover
"A major scholarly achievement, which speaks to multiple disciplines and national traditions...Snyder offers an elegant introduction to the discourse of dissimulation in the courtly world of sixteenth and seventeenth century Europe, then moves beyond to make an important, original intervention on a topic that stands at the center of current debates about modernity."--Albert Ascoli, author of Dante and the Making of a Modern Author
"The Baroque is the time of 'Machiavellianism' in politics, ethics, and religion. It is the time of esthetics of ostentation, chiaroscuros, and monumental theatricality. Paradoxically, it is also the time when freedom of thought, the value of dissidence, questions of authenticity, debates about virtues, and practices of confessions come to the fore. Snyder brings all these issues to new life in this deft and powerful book."--Giuseppe Mazzotta, author of The New Map of the World: the Poetic Philosophy of Giambattista Vico
