Of course that more academic title of "Poggio Bracciolini: A forgotten hero of the renaissance" wouldn't have sold nearly as many copies. <br><br>On a scale of structures to individual actors, <u class="showmore_hide">this book lies solidly toward the latter, but tries to present large structures as dominoes falling to the actions of this chance discovery by a little known figure. It's stuck somewhere between microhistory, which it probably should have been, and trying to create a grand narrative about the renaissance and the influence of ancient thought, and how radical and dangerous those ideas were seen to be. Of course the implicit argument that this was the big event that cinched "the swerve" as Greenblatt likes to call it, is not really supported by the book itself, rather just asserted. Would the book really not have been found elsewhere, by someone else, possibly at a later date? Was this book in particular really that essential compared to the rest of the ancient treasure trove? Is the rather tired trope of an evil Christian church opposed to 'progress' really not deserving of some nuance when every copyist who kept these books alive in monasteries were part of the same? <br><br>The book is better as the microhistory story it probably should have stayed, than the grand sweeping punches it takes at defining the renaissance.</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_aee51526');">more</a>)</span></div class="" ><span id="rate-u_c015e004" title="3 Stars" aria-title="3 Stars" class="rating rating-style-306 " data-fn="ratingWidget_fromSettingsA" ><span class="rw"><input type="hidden" value="6" name="form_rating" id="form_rating"/></span><i data-rating_value="2" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="4" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="5" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="8" class=" fas fa-star empty" ></i><i data-rating_value="10" class=" fas fa-star empty" ></i></span></div><div id="rfd_275409906" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_275409906"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"><div id="reviewflags_given_275409906" class="reviewflags_given hideme">Flagged<span id="rfi1_275409906" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as not a review" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_notreview"></i></span><span id="rfi2_275409906" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as abuse" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_abuse"></i></span></span></div><span id="rfrf_275409906"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/A.Godhelm" target="_top">A.Godhelm</a> | <a href="/work/11325033/reviews" data-workid="11325033" data-title="The-Swerve-How-the-World-Became-Modern" class="" >145 other reviews</a> | Nov 17, 2024 | <a href="/review/275409906"><i class="fas fa-link"></i></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_265968757" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/8903" data-workid="8903" data-title="Will-in-the-World-How-Shakespeare-Became-Shakespeare" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/039332737X.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/039332737X.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/039332737X.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"><div class="postinfo"><a href="/work/8903" data-workid="8903" data-title="Will-in-the-World-How-Shakespeare-Became-Shakespeare" class="" >Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare</a> by <a href="/author/greenblattstephen">Stephen Greenblatt</a></div></div><div class="showmore" id="u_bd62f77f" >Any book worth reading about Shakespeare will necessarily include a certain amount of fabrication, we know that little about the man.
