"Van der Laan's study provides an appealing new perspective on Renaissance epic and shows the enduring value of a comparative approach to the genre." -- Sheldon Brammall, Translation and Literature, Van der Laan's study provides an appealing new perspective on Renaissance epic and shows the enduring value of a comparative approach to the genre., "Van der Laan's study provides an appealing new perspective on Renaissance epic and shows the enduring value of a comparative approach to the genre." -- Sheldon Brammall, Translation and Literature"The Odyssey is obviously the most important text, and the allusions can bring the reader up short when Van der Laan highlights them. Van der Laan immerses herself in the ancient and medieval traditions of allegorical and moral commentary that found the Odyssey especially fascinating, as well as the vexed theorizing about genre that came with the recovery of Aristotle's Poetics in the sixteenth century." -- Gordon Braden, Arion: A Journal of Humanities and the Classics

Synopsis
The Choice of Odysseus demonstrates how the Odyssey provided Renaissance authors and readers with a poetic ethics--tools for living developed in poetry--to navigate the challenges of their age. As they endured schisms, ruptures, and failures of ideals, readers and poets turned to the Odyssey for narratives of recovery and aftermath. Sarah Van der Laan reconstructs Renaissance readings of the Odyssey from myriad sources. Situating major works by Petrarch, Poliziano, Ariosto, Tasso, Spenser, Monteverdi, and Milton in these Odyssean contexts, she recovers a powerful Renaissance tradition of Odyssean epic. Renaisance poets adopted the Odyssey as an epic model that supplements and even opposes the Virgilian epic model of conquest and imperial foundation. For Renaissance readers and authors, the Odyssey renders heroic other kinds of lived experience: the necessity of facing the world and its challenges with only human wisdom and reason; the ability to integrate traumatic detours and reversals into a vision of a successful and accomplished self; the recovery of a private life and personal desires painfully suspended for public service. Emphasizing marriage, reconciliation, homecoming, and the return to private life and private desires as suitably heroic matter for epic and powerful conventions for narrative and poetic closure, the Renaissance Odyssey and the epics and operas it inspired confer a uniquely heroic status on experience for men and women alike., The Choice of Odysseus demonstrates how the Odyssey provided Renaissance authors and readers with a poetic ethics, tools for living developed in poetry, to navigate the challenges of their age.
