The aim of this Companion volume is to provide scholars and
advanced graduate students with a comprehensive and authoritative
state-of-the-art review of current research work on Anglo-Italian
Renaissance studies. Written by a team of international scholars
and experts in the field, the chapters are grouped into two large
areas of influence and intertextuality, corresponding to the dual
way in which early modern England looked upon the Italian world
from the English perspective - Part 1: "Italian literature and
culture" and Part 2: "Appropriations and ideologies". In the first
part, prominent Italian authors, artists, and thinkers are examined
as a direct source of inspiration, imitation, and divergence. The
variegated English response to the cultural, ideological, and
political implications of pervasive Italian intertextuality, in
interrelated aspects of artistic and generic production, is dealt
with in the second part. Constructed on the basis of a largely
interdisciplinary approach, the volume offers an in-depth and
wide-ranging treatment of the multifaceted ways in which Italy's
material world and its iconologies are represented, appropriated,
and exploited in the literary and cultural domain of early modern
England. For this reason, contributors were asked to write essays
that not only reflect current thinking but also point to directions
for future research and scholarship, while a purposefully conceived
bibliography of primary and secondary sources and a detailed index
round off the volume.
