- Title
<em>Giordano Bruno's</em> Degli Eroici Furori <em>and Fulke Greville's</em> Caelica.
- Authors
Clucas, Stephen
- Abstract
This article focuses on "Degli Eroici Furori," by Giordano Bruno and "Caelica," by Fulke Greville. "Eroici" was dedicated by Bruno to English poet and statesman Sir Philip Sidney whom he felt was ideally fitted to appreciate his philosophy. Greville's poetry moved in a sphere of remote metaphysical abstraction, its sensual conceit broken down into philosophical language. Greville used lyrical statement in conjunction with philosopical statement in exactly Bruno's manner. In the first half of "Caelica," Greville appears to frequent the same thematic and iconographic territory as Bruno's "Eroici."
