A work that crisscrosses Europe, with a focus on Italy, to explore attitudes toward the art of dissimulation in the 16th and 17th centuries. Discussing many canonical works, it examines the treatment of dissimulation in early modern treatises and writings on the court, civility, moral philosophy, political theory, and in the visual arts.
