The history of literary criticism in the Italian Renaissance has been written several times. It is the subject of a volume by Ciro Trabalza entitled La Critica letteraria (Dai primordi dell’Umanesimo all’Età nostra) and published in Milan (1915) in the series “Storia dei generi letterari italiani.” Inside and outside Italy the most widely read and influential treatment of the subject is to be found in Joel Elias Spingarn’s History of Literary Criticism in the Renaissance (New York: Macmillan, 1899), published in Italian in a somewhat expanded form in 1904. The various works of Marvin T. Herrick have provided much useful information on the development of the theory of the genres during the Renaissance.
