"This work is a full interpretation of Giambattista Vico's thought, based primarily on his major work, the New Science, and on his earlier Latin writings. It takes its beginning point from Vico's own claim that his conception of 'imaginative universals' is the 'master key' of his New Science....Verene traces the notion of fantasia in Vico's writings, devoting a chapter each to Vico's interpretation of truth, imaginative universals, memory, science, rhetoric, and wisdom and barbarism."—New Vico Studies
