'Rewriting' is one of the most crucial but at the same time one of
the most elusive concepts of literary scholarship. In order to
contribute to a further reassessment of such a notion, this volume
investigates a wide range of medieval and early modern literary
transformations, especially focusing on texts (and contexts) of
Italian and French Renaissance literature. The first section of the
book, "Rewriting", gathers essays which examine medieval and early
modern rewritings while also pointing out the theoretical
implications raised by such texts. The second part, "Rewritings in
Early Modern Literature", collects contributions which account for
different practices of rewriting in the Italian and French
Renaissance, for instance by analysing dynamics of repetition and
duplication, verbatim reproduction and free reworking, textual
production and authorial self-fashioning, alterity and identity,
replication and multiplication. The volume strives at shedding
light on the complexity of the relationship between early modern
and ancient literature, perfectly summed up in the motto written by
Pietro Aretino in a letter to his friend the painter Giulio Romano
in 1542: "Essere modernamente antichi e anticamente moderni".
