Le Plaisir est-il le Bien ? La Renaissance reprend à son compte cette question débattue depuis le Philèbe et le livre X de l’ Ethique à Nicomaque. Au XVe siècle, Lorenzo Valla, dans son dialogue Sur le Plaisir de 1430 tranche dans le sens d’une identification entre le plaisir et le Bien suivi un siècle plus tard par Erasme qui n’hésite pas dans l’Epicurien (1533) d’assimiler le Christ à Epicure. Et Montaigne dans sa critique du stoïcisme stigmatise le danger des vertus immodérées qui excluent le plaisir. Le problème que posait Platon de la possibilité d’un faux plaisir à nouveau fascine les esprits. Et si le plaisir pensé, imaginé, rêvé pouvait réveiller les sens, toucher le corps ? Et si les barrières s’effaçaient entre le corps et l’âme ? Réhabiliter le plaisir, c’est pouvoir assumer sa part d’ombre, le déplaisir, refuser l’abstraction de leur dissociation. Accepter le plaisir, c’est accepter la mort. C’est l’une des leçons paradoxales de Peines d’Amour Perdues que la pensée baroque ne cessera d’illustrer. La Renaissance reste vigilante, comme l’avaient été les périodes précédentes, car il est un plaisir auquel il ne convient pas de laisser libre cours : le bon plaisir du monarque absolutiste.

The disciplines of classical scholarship were established in their modern form between 1300 and 1600, and Virgil was a test case for many of them. This book is concerned with what became of Virgil in this period, how he was understood, and how his poems were recycled. What did readers assume about Virgil in the long decades between Dante and Sidney, Petrarch and Spenser, Boccaccio and Ariosto? Which commentators had the most influence? What story, if any, was Virgil's Eclogues supposed to tell? What was the status of his Georgics? Which parts of his epic attracted the most imitators? Building on specialized scholarship of the last hundred years, this book provides a panoramic synthesis of what scholars and poets from across Europe believed they could know about Virgil's life and poetry.
