- Additional information
- This is an essay in an edited volume published by the School of Advanced Study in London which arose from a conference (papers by invitation) at the Warburg Institute. It studies the lives which were written in the Renaissance and added to translations of Plutarch from 1470 onwards. The original contribution here is to consider how these lives draw on and imitate Plutarch’s work and their literary merit and imitation of his technique, which no one has previously undertaken. The methodology is a combination of close-reading and source criticism. The volume was anonymously peer-reviewed.
