Abstract

In this second volume of Renaissance Comedy, Donald Beecher presents six more of the best-known plays of the period, each with its own introduction, reading notes, and annotations. Beecher's general introduction, though stand-alone, complements and extends the historical and critical essay prefacing the first volume. Together, the eleven plays in both volumes illuminate the range, variety, and development of the Italian comedy.The second volume of Renaissance Comedy raises fascinating questions about the uses of classical literature, the conventions of comedy, the politics of theatrical production, and the representation of contemporary social issues. Though it is clear that comedic plays exercised considerable influence over the development of European drama, these plays are above all remarkable for their sheer wit and invention, and their capacity to generate laughter and admiration in readers nearly half a millennium later.

Abstract

Raffaello Borghini's Il Riposo (1584) is the most widely known Florentine document on the subject of the Counter-Reformation content of religious paintings. Despite its reputation as an art-historical text, this is the first English-language translation of Il Riposo to be published. A distillation of the art gossip that was a feature of the Medici Grand Ducal court, Borghini's treatise puts forth simple criteria for judging the quality of a work of art. Published sixteen years after the second edition of Giorgio Vasari's Vite, the text that set the standard for art-historical writing during the period, Il Riposo focuses on important issues that Vasari avoided, ignored, or was oblivious to. Picking up where Vasari left off, Borghini deals with artists who came after Michaelangelo and provides more comprehensive descriptions of artists who Vasari only touched upon such as Tintoretto, Veronese, Barocci, and the artists of Francesco I's Studiolo. This text is also invaluable as a description of the mid-sixteenth century reaction against the style of the 'maniera,' which stressed the representation of self-consciously convoluted figures in complicated works of art.The first art treatise specifically directed toward non-practitioners, Il Riposo gives unique insight into the early stages of art history as a discipline, late Renaissance art and theory, and the Counter-Reformation in Italy.

Abstract

Recent years have witnessed an intense debate concerning the size of the population of Roman Italy. This book argues that the combined literary, epigraphic and archaeological evidence supports the theory that early-imperial Italy had about six million inhabitants. At the same time the traditional view that the last century of the Republic witnessed a decline in the free Italian population is shown to be untenable. The main foci of its six chapters are: military participation rates; demographic recovery after the Second Punic War; the spread of slavery and the background to the Gracchan land reforms; the fast expansion of Italian towns after the Social War; emigration from Italy; and the fate of the Italian population during the first 150 years of the Principate.

Abstract

Laboratoire italien se propose de constituer un lieu de réflexion et de débat pour quiconque s’intéresse à l’Italie en tant que laboratoire politique. Postuler un « laboratoire politique » italien signifie considérer l’Italie, dans sa pluralité et diversité, du Moyen Âge à nos jours, comme un lieu de réalisations et de réflexions politiques spécifiques qui ont pu avoir quelque importance au-delà des frontières de la péninsule. Concevoir l’Italie comme un « laboratoire » signifie aussi, sur le plan de la méthode, promouvoir des analyses fondées sur des expériences autant que sur des textes et des concepts. Il ne s’agit donc pas seulement de faire dialoguer les auteurs mais de les inscrire dans l’histoire brûlante de leur cité et, tout à la fois, dans les traditions textuelles – juridique, littéraire, philosophique, etc. – qu’ils modifient ou enrichissent, de donner de la vie à leurs mots et de les replacer dans le champ des objectifs qu’ils servent et des enjeux qu’ils dévoilent.
