Specialist Notes
Extremely rare Guarini edition.
The second Verato, or Replica dell'Attizzato (1593) is a polemical and critical work by Battista Guarini, author of the famous Il pastor fido. It was printed in Florence in 1593 by Filippo Giunti and represents one of the most important interventions in the so-called "querelle del Pastor Fido", one of the great literary disputes of the late Italian Renaissance. The work was conceived as a response to Giasone De Nores, who had attacked Pastor Fido and, more generally, the genre of pastoral tragicomedy. De Nores argued that the mixture of tragic and comic elements violated Aristotelian rules and produced a poetically "monstrous" work.
Verato Segundo is not merely a personal polemical response. It is one of the fundamental theoretical texts for understanding late Renaissance aesthetics; the birth of modern tragicomedy; the debate between "ancients" and "moderns"; and the success of Pastor Fido, which became one of the most influential plays in Europe between the 16th and 17th centuries.
