  • Author : Eleonora Stoppino
  • Publisher : Fordham Univ Press
  • Release : 2012
  • ISBN : 0823240371
  • Pages : 281 pages

Download or read book Genealogies of Fiction written by Eleonora Stoppino and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genealogies of Fiction is a study of gender, dynastic politics, and intertextuality in medieval and renaissance chivalric epic, focused on Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando furioso. Relying on the direct study of manuscripts and incunabula, this project challenges the fixed distinction between medieval and early modern texts and reclaims medieval popular epic as a key source for the Furioso. Tracing the formation of the character of the warrior woman, from the Amazon to Bradamante, the book analyzes the process of gender construction in early modern Italy. By reading the tension between the representations of women as fighters, lovers, and mothers, this study shows how the warrior woman is a symbolic center for the construction of legitimacy in the complex web of fears and expectations of the Northern Italian Renaissance court.

Book Orlando in Love

    Book Details:
  • Author : Matteo Maria Boiardo
  • Publisher : Parlor Press LLC
  • Release : 2004
  • ISBN : 9781932559019
  • Pages : 726 pages

Download or read book Orlando in Love written by Matteo Maria Boiardo and published by Parlor Press LLC. This book was released on 2004 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Ariosto's Orlando Furioso and Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered, Boiardo's chivalric stories of lords and ladies first entertained the culturally innovative court of Ferrara in the Italian Renaissance. Inventive, humorous, inexhaustible, the story recounts Orlando's love-stricken pursuit of "the fairest of her Sex, Angelica" (in Milton's terms) through a fairyland that combines the military valors of Charlemagne's knights and their famous horses with the enchantments of King Arthur's court. Today it seems more than ever appropriate to offer a new, unabridged edition of Boiardo's Orlando Innamorato, the first Renaissance epic about the common customs of, and the conflicts between, Christian Europe and Islam. Having extensively revised his earlier translation for general readers, Charles Ross has added headings and helpful summaries to Boiardo's cantos. Tenses have been regularized, and terms of gender and religion have been updated, but not so much as to block the reader's encounter with how Boiardo once viewed the world. Charles Stanley Ross has degrees from Harvard College and the University of Chicago and teaches English and comparative literature at Purdue University. "Neglect of Italian romances robs us of a whole species of pleasure and narrows our very conception of literature. It is as if a man left out Homer, or Elizabethan drama, or the novel. For like these, the romantic epic of Italy is one of the great trophies of the European genius: a genuine kind, not to be replaced by any other, and illustrated by an extremely copious and brilliant production. It is one of the successes, the undisputed achievements." -C. S. Lewis

Book Building the Canon through the Classics

Download or read book Building the Canon through the Classics written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building the Canon through the Classics. Imitation and Variation in Renaissance Italy (1350-1580) provides a comprehensive reappraisal of the construction of a literary canon in Renaissance Italy by exploring the multiple reuses of classical authorities. The volume reshapes current debate on the notion of canon by intertwining two perspectives: analyzing when and in what form a canon emerged, and determining the ways in which an ancient literary canon interacts with the urge to bestow a similar authority on some later and contemporaneous authors. Each chapter makes an original contribution to its selected topic, but the collective strength of the volume relies on its simultaneous appeal to readers in Italian Studies, intellectual history, comparative studies and classical reception studies.

Book Ariosto  the Orlando Furioso  and English Culture

Download or read book Ariosto the Orlando Furioso and English Culture written by Jane E. Everson and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume assesses the changing impact on English culture over 500 years of Ariosto's poem, the 'Orlando Furioso', first published in Italy in 1516, and subsequently in an expanded version in 1532. Individual chapters address the recurring presence of Ariosto's poem in English literature, but also the multimedial nature of the transmission of the Furioso into English culture: through the visual arts, theatre, music and spectacle to video games and the internet, as well as through often heated critical debates.

Book A Companion to Pietro Aretino

  • Publisher : Renaissance Society of America

  • ISBN : 9789004348059
  • Pages : 624 pages

Download or read book A Companion to Pietro Aretino written by Marco Faini and published by Renaissance Society of America. This book was released on 2021 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Companion to Pietro Aretino offers exhaustive yet accessible essays aimed at understanding this complex and fascinating author. Its scope extends beyond the field of Italian studies, and includes references to other European literatures, visual arts, music, performance studies, gender studies, and social and religious history. It explores previously neglected areas of Aretino's literary and biographical identity: in particular, his religious writings and their fortune, his relationships to visual arts and music and his fashioning of a public persona. The essays here included support the current scholarly trend that no longer considers Aretino merely as a pornographer, but interpret his work in the light of the contemporary religious debate and cultural crisis"--

Also included in this volume is a biography of Boccaccio, perhaps as great an influence on world literature as Dante himself.
