The aim of Gold-Hall and Earth -Dragon is to re-create as fully as possible for modern readers the original force of the poetic language of Beowulf. Lee makes use of a wide, archetypal literary context for Beowulf to provide illuminating parallels and contrasts with poems and fictions from other times and places. He demonstrates how the poem's symbolic system reveals itself through the metaphorical workings of the Old English words, patterns of imagery, and more general narrative structures, and how the poem might have been experienced and interpreted by the Anglo-Saxons in the light of other Old English poems. The critical tools that Lee uses - combining certain techniques of New Criticism and close reading with postmodern theories of the self-referentiality of language and with Northrop Frye's conceptions of structure and polysemy in literature - make possible a fresh new account of Beowulf as a work that is very much alive in its poetic language, a finely wrought symbolic work of imagining, still resonant with meanings old and new.

Au XIIIe siècle, les pouvoirs médiévaux s’assimilent un ensemble de techniques rhétoriques élaborées au Moyen Âge central sous le nom d’ars dictaminis La cour sicilienne de l’empereur Frédéric II est, sous l’impulsion de Pierre de la Vigne, un laboratoire privilégié dans le processus de perfectionnement de cette prose politique rythmée. Alors que s’effondre la dynastie souabe, les héritiers de sa chancellerie transmettent à la postérité les textes les plus représentatifs de cette rhétorique impériale en créant une collection de dictamina : les Lettres de Pierre de la Vigne, auquel ce style emphatique et voilé d’obscurités métaphoriques sera désormais associé. Ce livre étudie une étape décisive de la formation du langage politique européen à partir de l’histoire des Lettres, envisagée dans ses différents aspects, de la création mystérieuse de la collection jusqu’à sa transformation en objet historique, en passant par l’analyse du milieu, de l’idéologie et des techniques rhétoriques des créateurs de ses textes, de leur impact et de leur interprétation contradictoire dans la société du XIIIe siècle. Il montre les procédures mises en œuvre par les notaires ultérieurs pour exploiter ce « miroir rhétorique » et son poids dans la transformation générale du langage étatique européen au cours d’un long XIVe siècle (1270-1420), de l’Angleterre à la Bohême, de la France à l’Italie. En explorant ce continent du dictamen politique ultérieurement recouvert par la vague humaniste, on tente ainsi de progresser, sur la piste de Kantorowicz, dans la reconstitution des liens mystérieux unissant idéologie linguistique, droit et construction étatique à l’automne du Moyen Âge.

Dal XV secolo a oggi la Villa Tiburtina fatta costruire dall’imperatore Elio Adriano a Tivoli non ha mai cessato di stimolare l’interesse di studiosi attratti dalla quantità e qualità delle sue decorazioni e soluzioni architettoniche. Da tale interesse si è sviluppata una cospicua letteratura che oggi si arricchisce di un nuovo contributo, impostato su una chiave di lettura innovativa e passibile di suscitare spunti di riflessione sia nell’ambito archeologico, sia in quello a carattere storicoarchitettonico. Attraverso una accurata disamina delle prime rappresentazioni planimetriche dell’intero sito imperiale, sempre analizzate in relazione a quanto attualmente rilevato e rilevabile, nel volume si approfondiscono l’operato e i contributi di quanti, nel corso di circa due secoli, hanno rivolto la loro attenzione indagatoria alla Villa. Per alcuni di essi, tra i quali Pirro Ligorio,Francesco Contini, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Jacques Gondoin e Francesco Piranesi, la ricercacondotta ha recato a risultati inattesi, talora inediti, per lo più suscettibili di suggerire nuoviindicatori di ricerca anche e non solo per quanti sono attesi allo studio dell’immane Villa imperialeTiburtina.
