Cambridge University Press Literary Theory and Criticism in the Later Middle Ages
Book SynopsisThis collection makes a new, profound and far-reaching intervention into the rich yet neglected terrain? between Latin scholastic theory and vernacular literatures. Written by a multidisciplinary team of leading international authors, the chapters honour and advance Alastair Minnis' field-defining scholarship.Trade Review'Rich in insights into literate and pedagogic practices throughout the medieval period, generous in its bibliographical reach, this volume is altogether worthy of its distinguished honorand. While directing attention to influential but still under-studied figures such as Bromyard and Holcot, the volume as a whole asks the big questions about relationships between scholasticism and vernacular knowledge, focusing in particular on diverse translations of authority between Latin, French and English. It is also valuable for the nuanced awareness, shared by all its contributors, of the silences and uncertainties surrounding some of the relationships between theory and literary practice in this period. It triumphantly demonstrates the continuing validity and impact of the essay collection in advancing knowledge in a research field of enduring vitality.' Mishtooni Bose, University of Oxford'Lovers of literary learning appreciate nothing so much as theory that locks into and illuminates literature. Alastair Minnis not only excavated a vast field of such lucid theory, but taught the rest of us how to dig. The wonderfully rich essays by accomplished scholars in this volume bring a great deal more to the surface, to exhilarating effect.'

University of Chicago Press The Shock of the Ancient Literature and History
Book SynopsisTurns the canonical vision of those events on its head by demonstrating how the defenders of Greek literature rather than clinging to an outmoded tradition celebrated the radically different practices of the ancient world. This title explores how the authoritative status of Greek texts allowed them to justify literary depictions of the scandalous.Trade Review"Witty, free of jargon, and filled with an encyclopedic knowledge of sources, as well as an up-to-date view of recent literary and cultural debates, this book will shed vivid new light on this important historical controversy."

Bucknell University Press,U.S. Dystopias of Infamy: Insult and Collective
Book SynopsisInsults, scorn, and verbal abuse—frequently deployed to affirm the social identity of the insulter—are destined to fail when that language is appropriated and embraced by the maligned group. In such circumstances, slander may instead empower and reinforce the collective identity of those perceived to be a threat to an idealized society. In this innovative study, Irigoyen-Garcia examines how the discourse and practices of insult and infamy shaped the cultural imagination, anxieties, and fantasies of early modern Spain. Drawing on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century literary works, archival research, religious and political literature, and iconographic documents, Dystopias of Infamy traces how the production of insults haunts the imaginary of power, provoking latent anxieties about individual and collective resistance to subjectification. Of particular note is Cervantes’s tendency to parody regulatory fantasies about infamy throughout his work, lampooning repressive law for its paradoxical potential to instigate the very defiance it fears.Trade Review"Dystopias of Infamy shows convincingly how the discourse and practices of insult shaped the cultural imagination, anxieties, and fantasies of early modern Iberia. The significance of Irigoyen-García’s study lies in an innovative approach that reveals infamy’s resilience as much as its liabilities, its foreseeable victims as much as its unexpected mutations. Through the recuperation of little-known historical documents and incisive interpretation of well-established texts, this book provides fresh, nuanced insights into the social workings of both the dominant and marginalized in pre-modern Spain." -- Paul Michael Johnson * author of Affective Geographies: Cervantes, Emotion, and the Literary Mediterranean *"Extremely well-researched and well-written, Dystopias of Infamy is bound to be of interest not just to Hispanists, but also to cultural anthropologists and scholars interested in issues of identity formation among both dominant and marginalized groups." -- Anthony J.

Pindar Press Studies of Petrarch and His Influence
Book SynopsisProfessor Joseph Trapp has been Director of the Warburg Institute, and is an authority on Renaissance humanism and the classical tradition. The present volume brings "together twenty-one of Professor Trapp's more recent papers on the illuminated manuscripts of Petrarch, and his lasting "influence. The fifteenth- and sixteenth-century movement which led to a European revaluation of social, political, ethical, literary, artistic and intellectual experience and which we know as the Renaissance was given its decisive early impetus from Italy in the fourteenth by Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374). Petrarch is present, sometimes visibly, sometimes all but invisibly, within all the manifestations of the Renaissance imagination covered by these essays. His presence is most obvious in the first division of this book, Petrarch Illustrated, where a comprehensive survey and a number of specialized studies bring up to date and in other ways augment the great work of the prince d'Essling and Eugène Muntz, published in 1902 and now in need of revision in many respects. In the second section, Petrarch is present by reputation and implication, and through the homage paid to him, directly in pilgrimage to and adornment of places where he lived and the search for personal mementos, or indirectly in the search by generations succeeding him for the authentic image of the classical authors whom he studied, imitated, revered and loved as friends, or in the permeation into Northern Europe of the study of the classics which he saw as the guide to letters and to life and its modification by humanists and Biblical scholars. Erasmus, Thomas More and William Tyndale, widely different in both their Christian faith and their views of the Biblical text in Latin, Greek or English, without consciously being aware of it, owed their preoccupation with the texts ultimately to the example of Petrarch and his Italian successors, particularly the schoolmaster Guarino of Verona and the great philologists Lorenzo Valla and Angelo Poliziano.Table of ContentsPreface Petrarch Illustrated: The Iconography of Petrarch in the Age of Humanism Illustrated Manuscripts of Petrarch's De remediis Petrarch's Triumph of Death in Tapestry Illustrations of Petrarch's Trionfi from Manuscript to Print and from Print to Manuscript The Illustration of Petrarch's Secretum The Illustration of Petrarch's Letters Petrarch's Long Legacy: Europe: The Cult of Petrarch: 1.
