Beskrivelse
For Poliziano philology opens man to the experience of the uncanniness of tropes. In the "Lamia" he proposes a rethinking of philology's ontological status: philology as a science and encyclopedia of tropes. Such a critical frame-of-mind informs the major poetic writings. In the "Stanze, " Poliziano employs the trope of metalepsis as a means of both grounding a dialectic with the past, and reinventing a literary language. The "Favola" "di Orfeo, " whose aesthetic hub is nourished by the cognitive capacity of poetic utterance, is an allegory of metaphor's ability to lead to the disclosure of the originary locus.
