Jacopo Sannazzaro
(redirected from Jacopo Sannazaro)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Sannazzaro, Jacopo 

Born July 28, 1456, in Naples; died there Apr. 24, 1530. Italian writer. Served at the court of the duke of Calabria.

Sannazzaro’s most famous work is Arcadia, a pastoral in verse and prose (written between 1480 and 1485; published in 1504). It contrasts an isolated, idealized world with the depravity of court life. Arcadia helped further the development of the pastoral genre in European literature.
