Attendee Responses + Information
A 16th century book of manners that has become a snapshot of what it was to be an ideal courtier. More than that however, Casiglione’s The Book of the Courtier is an open-ended philosophical discussion representing a nostalgic look at the disappearing courts of the High Renaissance. It is a fun, witty piece that explores a period less familiar from a writer of the age. Enjoy Professor Sugrue’s lecture and recorded Q&A.
