Innovation in the Italian Counter-Reformation (Hardcover): Shannon McHugh, Anna Wainwright Innovation in the Italian Counter-Reformation (Hardcover)
Shannon McHugh, Anna Wainwright; Contributions by Amedeo Quondam, Virginia Cox, Lisa Bourla, …
R3,493 Discovery Miles 34 930 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The enduring "black legend" of the Italian Counter-Reformation, which has held sway in both scholarly and popular culture, maintains that the Council of Trent ushered in a cultural dark age in Italy, snuffing out the spectacular creative production of the Renaissance. As a result, the decades following Trent have been mostly overlooked in Italian literary studies, in particular. The thirteen essays of Innovation in the Italian Counter-Reformation present a radical reconsideration of literary production in post-Tridentine Italy. With particular attention to the much-maligned tradition of spiritual literature, the volume’s contributors weave literary analysis together with religion, theater, art, music, science, and gender to demonstrate that the literature of this period not only merits study but is positively innovative. Contributors include such renowned critics as Virginia Cox and Amedeo Quondam, two of the leading scholars on the Italian Counter-Reformation. Published by University of Delaware Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

The Vernacular Aristotle - Translation as Reception in Medieval and Renaissance Italy (Paperback): Eugenio Refini The Vernacular Aristotle - Translation as Reception in Medieval and Renaissance Italy (Paperback)
Eugenio Refini
R950 Discovery Miles 9 500 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book explores the ways in which Aristotle's legacy was appropriated and reshaped by vernacular readers in Medieval and Renaissance Italy. It considers translation in a broad sense, looking at commentaries, compendia, rewritings, and abridgments alongside vernacular versions of Aristotle's works. Translation is thus taken as quintessential to the very notion of reception, with a focus on the dynamics - cultural, social, material - that informed the appropriation and reshaping of the 'master of those who know' on the part of vernacular readers between 1250 and 1500. By looking at the proactive and transformative nature of reception, this book challenges traditional narratives about the period and identifies the theory and practice of translation as a liminal space that facilitated the interaction between lay readers and the academic context while fostering the legitimation of the vernacular as a language suitable for philosophical discourse.
