Riassunto

"Strong words" is the author's "shorthand for words of love, anger, and fear, of high compliment and low abuse; words of prayer, complaint, and supplication spontaneous, ritualized, or metrical; rhetorical and posturing words, neighborhood words, and rhymed words for fixing things in memory." Martines (a historian formerly with UCLA) presents a social history of the Italian Renaissance by exploring how its stories, poetry, prayers, and letters expressed religious sensibilities, romance, alienation, political thought, misogyny, and the moral strains of patronage.
