The intellectual societies known as Academies played a vital role
in the development of culture, and scholarly debate throughout
Italy between 1525-1700. They were fundamental in establishing the
intellectual networks later defined as the 'Republique des
Lettres', and in the dissemination of ideas in early modern Europe,
through print, manuscript, oral debate and performance. This volume
surveys the social and cultural role of Academies, challenging
received ideas and incorporating recent archival findings on
individuals, networks and texts. Ranging over Academies in both
major and smaller or peripheral centres, these collected studies
explore the interrelationships of Academies with other cultural
forums. Individual essays examine the fluid nature of academies and
their changing relationships to the political authorities; their
role in the promotion of literature, the visual arts and theatre;
and the diverse membership recorded for many academies, which
included scientists, writers, printers, artists, political and
religious thinkers, and, unusually, a number of talented women.
Contributions by established international scholars together with
studies by younger scholars active in this developing field of
research map out new perspectives on the dynamic place of the
Academies in early modern Italy. The publication results from the
research collaboration 'The Italian Academies 1525-1700: the first
intellectual networks of early modern Europe' funded by the Arts
and Humanities Research Council and is edited by the senior
investigators.
