Описание: Which famous poet treasured his copy of Homer, but could never learn Greek? What prompted diplomats to circulate a speech by Demosthenes – in Latin translation – when the Turks threatened to invade Europe? Why would enthusiastic Florentines crowd a lecture on the Roman Neoplatonist Plotinus, but underestimate the importance of Plato himself? Having all but disappeared during the Middle Ages, classical Greek would recover a position of importance – eventually equal to that of classical Latin - only after a series of surprising failures, chance encounters, and false starts. This important study of the rediscovery and growing influence of classical Greek scholarship in Italy from the 14th to the early 16th centuries is brought up to date in a new edition that reflects on the recent developments in the field of classical reception studies, and contains fully up-to-date references to aid students and scholars. From a leading authority on Greek palaeography in the English-speaking world, here is a complete account of the historic rediscovery of Greek philosophy, language and literature during the Renaissance, brought up-to-date for a modern audience of classicists, historians, and students and scholars of reception studies and the Classical Tradition.
Описание: Le vicende storiche dalla dittatura di Mussolini fino allo scoppio e termine della II Guerra Mondiale con i primi anni della ricostruzione postbellica fanno da macrosfondo al rapporto d'amicizia epistolare tra due intellettuali italiani emigrati negli Stati Uniti, Giuseppe Antonio Borgese (1882-1952) e Giorgio La Piana (1878-1971). Due siciliani in terra americana: da una parte il celebre autore di Rube (1921), primo allievo di Croce, strenuo oppositore del fascismo; dall’altra un prete modernista, docente di storia della Chiesa ad Harvard, che si prodiga per integrare Borgese nel sistema americano. In un ampio arco temporale (1932–1952) si racconta l’esilio americano di Borgese, il suo interesse per la situazione politica italiana ed europea, per le vicende culturali e le sorti degli intellettuali contrari al regime.
Runner Up Winner of the Edinburgh Gadda Prize - Established Scholars, Cultural Studies Category Winner of the American Association for Italian Studies Book Prize (20th & 21st Centuries) Honorable Mention for the Howard R. Marraro Prize By linking Italy’s long history of emigration to all continents in the world, contemporary transnational migrations directed toward it, as well as the country’s colonial legacies, Fiore’s book poses Italy as a unique laboratory to rethink national belonging at large in our era of massive demographic mobility. Through an interdisciplinary cultural approach, the book finds traces of globalization in a past that may hold interesting lessons about inclusiveness for the present. Fiore rethinks Italy’s formation and development on a transnational map through cultural analysis of travel, living, and work spaces as depicted in literary, filmic, and musical texts. By demonstrating how immigration in Italy today is preoccupied by its past emigration and colonialism, the book stresses commonalities and dispels preoccupations.

Описание:
How grace shaped the Renaissance in Italy
"Grace" emerges as a keyword in the culture and society of sixteenth-century Italy. The Grace of the Italian Renaissance explores how it conveys and connects the most pressing ethical, social and aesthetic concerns of an age concerned with the reactivation of ancient ideas in a changing world. The book reassesses artists such as Francesco del Cossa, Raphael and Michelangelo and explores anew writers like Castiglione, Ariosto, Tullia d'Aragona and Vittoria Colonna. It shows how these artists and writers put grace at the heart of their work.
Grace, Ita Mac Carthy argues, came to be as contested as it was prized across a range of Renaissance Italian contexts. It characterised emerging styles in literature and the visual arts, shaped ideas about how best to behave at court and sparked controversy about social harmony and human salvation. For all these reasons, grace abounded in the Italian Renaissance, yet it remained hard to define. Mac Carthy explores what grace meant to theologians, artists, writers and philosophers, showing how it influenced their thinking about themselves, each other and the world.
Ambitiously conceived and elegantly written, this book portrays grace not as a stable formula of expression but as a web of interventions in culture and society.

Описание: Il 24 novembre 1960, a Parigi, in un bistrot della rue du Bac, nasce, per volonta di R. Queneau e F. Le Lionnais, l’Ouvroir de Litterature Potentielle (Oulipo). Non un movimento letterario, ne un laboratorio scientifico ma un gruppo di scrittori e di matematici che si propongono, attraverso un approccio «sistematico» e «scientifico», di rinnovare l’idea di letteratura e apportare nuova linfa vitale a quel dibattito culturale che, in Francia, negli anni Sessanta, rimette in questione il mito surrealista dell’ispirazione e si allontana da un’idea di letteratura engagee di matrice sartriana. Nello stesso periodo, Italo Calvino inizia a frequentare piu assiduamente Parigi e nel 1972 e eletto membre etranger di questo gruppo che, lontano dalla «gravita» della critica italiana, gli offre la possibilita di confrontarsi con una serie di modelli che giocheranno un ruolo fondamentale nella sua opera successiva. A partire da un approfondimento della retorica oulipiana, e attraverso un approccio «oulipocritico» alla produzione letteraria degli anni parigini di Calvino, il presente saggio ricostruisce le tappe fondamentali di questa storia fatta di «destini incrociati».

Описание: A clash of empires in Italy Variously called, 'The Second Italian War of Independence, ' 'The Franco-Austrian War.' 'The Austro-Sardinian War' and 'The Austro-Piedmontese War' this notable European conflict of the middle years of the nineteenth century played a pivotal role in the shaping of modern Europe. The declining Austro-Hungarian empire of the Hapsburgs struggled to maintain its hold on the Italian states as they fought to create a unified nation. An alliance of Sardinia and France fought the Austrian Empire in northern Italy where, for the final time, both protagonists were commanded in the field by their respective emperors. The conflict was short, lasting only from May to July in 1859, but it included the notable battles of Magenta and Solferino which were both allied victories. The outcome of the war was a negotiated peace prompted by France's desire not to draw Prussia into the war. This book is drawn from reports made by the Times reporter on the spot and enhanced by forty illustrations by Carlo Bossoli who was a well known scenic artist of the period. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
