The small but influential community of Italians that took shape in
England in the fifteenth century initially consisted of
ecclesiastics, humanists, merchants, bankers, and artists. However,
in the wake of the English Reformation, Italian Protestants joined
other continental religious refugees in finding Tudor England to be
a hospitable and productive haven, and they brought with them a
cultural perspective informed by the ascendency among European
elites of their vernacular language. This original and
interdisciplinary study maintains that questions of language are at
the centre of the circulation of ideas in the early modern period.
Wyatt first examines the agency of this shifting community of
immigrant Italians in the transmission of Italy's cultural
patrimony and its impact on the nascent English nation; Part Two
turns to the exemplary career of John Florio, the Italo-Englishman
who worked as a language teacher, lexicographer, and translator in
Elizabethan and Jacobean England.
