From Metaphor to Form in Renaissance Drama
JACKSON
I.
COPE
"An impressive scholarly study which explores the influence of Florentine
Platonism on Renaissance drama and dramatic theory. ... Cope traces that
influence through the dual metaphor of life as a dream and the real world
as a stage. He explicates over a score of plays. . . . Opens new doors to
scholarly discussion of an idea which moved out of Florence to London
and Madrid to influence the world's great
dramatists."-Library Journal
