Résumé du livre
In this impressive analysis, Kircher traces the specific, and heretofore overlooked use of irony in the writings of Alberti, demonstrating the centrality of irony as a key aspect of Alberti's humanist view of the world, and setting his work within the context of Renaissance humanist discourse, beginning with its roots in Cicero.
