Abstract

In 1462 Pope Pius II performed the only reverse canonization in history, damning a living man to an afterlife of torment. What had Sigismondo Malatesta, Lord of Rimini and a patron of the arts, done to merit this fate? Anthony D’Elia shows how the recovery of classical literature and art during the Italian Renaissance led to a revival of paganism.

Abstract

"Virginity Revisited is a collection of essays that examines virginity not as a physical reality but as a cultural artefact. By situating the topic of virginity within a range of historical 'moments' and using a variety of methodologies, Virginity Revisited illuminates how chastity provided a certain agency, autonomy, and power to women. This is a study of the positive and negative features of sexual renunciation, in ancient Greek divinities and mythical women, in Rome's Vestal Virgins, in the Christian martyrs and Mariology in the medieval and early modern period, and in Grace Marks, the heroine of Margaret Atwood's novel Alias Grace."--Jacket.

Abstract

Der durchgehend englischsprachige Sammelband versammelt Beiträge international renommierter Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaftler (u. a. von Peter Burke, Carlo Ginzburg, Jan und Aleida Assmann), die sich mit dem Phänomen des Kulturtransfers in der europäischen Renaissance-Literatur befassen. U. a. werden Übersetzungen und Übersetzungsprozesse sowie Phänomene der Intertextualität und der literarischen Rezeption europäischer Philosophen diskutiert. In allen Beiträgen geht es um Regeln, Motive und Folgen des Kulturaustausches. Durch eine umfangreiche grundsätzliche Einführung und ein Register bietet der Band eine homogene Gesamtdarstellung des Gegenstandes. Der Band ist untergliedert in die Kapitel "Mediators. Routes of Exchange", "Mediations. Mental Topographies" und "Representations. Staging the Go-Between". The volume analyses some of the travelling and bridge-building activities that went on in Renaissance Europe, mainly but not exclusively across the Channel, true to Montaigne's epoch-making program of describing 'the passage'. Its emphasis on Anglo-Continental relations ensures a firm basis in English literature, but its particular appeal lies in its European point of view, and in the perspectives it opens up into other areas of early modern culture, such as pictorial art, philosophy, and economics. The multiple implications of the go-between concept make for structured diversity. The chapters of this book are arranged in three stages. Part 1 ('Mediators') focuses on influential go-betweens, both as groups, like the translators, and as individual mediators. The second part of this book ('Mediations') is concerned with individual acts of mediation, and with the 'mental topographies' they presuppose, reflect and redraw in their turn. Part 3 ('Representations') looks at the role of exemplary intermediaries and the workings of mediation represented on the early modern English stage. Key features High quality anthology on phenomena of cultural exchange in the Renaissance era With contributions by outstanding international experts

Abstract

In this book, Muir explores an era of cultural innovation that promoted free inquiry in the face of philosophical and theological orthodoxy, advocated libertine morals, critiqued the tyranny of aristocratic fathers over their daughters, and expanded the theatrical potential of grand opera. In so doing, he reveals the distinguished past of today's culture wars, including debates about the place of women in society, the clash between science and faith, and the power of the arts to stir emotions.

Abstract

Analyzing the literature on art from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, The Spiritual Language of Art explores the complex relationship between visual art and spiritual experiences during the Italian Renaissance. Though scholarly research on these writings has predominantly focused on the influence of classical literature, this study reveals that Renaissance authors consistently discussed art using terms, concepts and metaphors derived from spiritual literature. By examining these texts in the light of medieval sources, greater insight is gained on the spiritual nature of the artist’s process and the reception of art. Offering a close re-readings of many important writers (Alberti, Leonardo, Vasari, et cetera), this study deepens our understanding of attitudes toward art and spirituality in the Italian Renaissance.
