John Freccero is internationally renowned for his scholarship on
Dante, Petrarch, Macchiavelli, and other authors. Currently
Professor of Italian and Comparative Literature at New York
University, he has also taught at Yale, Stanford, Cornell, and
Johns Hopkins. His numerous honours include Fulbright and
Guggenheim fellowships and awards from the city of Florence and the
Republic of Italy. His publications encompass articles on film,
philosophy, and literature of virtually all time periods. All the
authors in this Festschrift are former students of Freccero. All
the articles appertain to Italian literature - from Dennis Costa's
literary analysis of Bonaventure's Itinerarium to Patricia Parker's
tracing of the State of Maryland's medieval Italian motto back
through its English Renaissance sources. Many pieces are concerned
with Dante directly (Kleiner, Schnapp, Jacoff, Cornish, Ginsberg,
Hawkins, Chiarenza), and several others dealing with medieval and
Renaissance Italian subjects do so indirectly (Costa, Stephens,
Quint). Two are concerned with pre-modern cultural and literary
implications of the history of science (Stewart, Reeves); the
remainder trace the afterlife of medieval or Renaisance Italian
motifs in modern culture (Parker, West, Marcus).
