Among conservatives, there is substantial dissatisfaction with
public schools and advocation of voucher plans--even on the part of many
poor urban and rural families. Bembo's advocation of an Italian literary language based
on Petrarch's poetry and Boccaccio's prose, a language
perceived as untouched by history and regional rivalry, was keenly
attuned to the ambitions of the Medici, and Labe's reorientation of
Petarch's treatment of amatory relationships was intended to make
available to a middle-class audience forms of verse excluded from the
educated male community schooled in the humanist tradition. In either case this advocation of
individual well-being must be either exposed or transformed into a less
self-serving ideology. |
