Peter Burke’s Popular Culture in Early Modern Europe, published in the same year and similarly recognized as a pioneering work, examined ‘the popular’ from the point of view of a social historian. But, although these two books marked a new beginning in the study of the European forms of popular culture, their respec- OF tive in uences have remained discrete: following Weimann, there has been work on E early modern English theatre as a ‘popular’ experience (where ‘popular’ is intended ARLY as ‘widely accessed and enjoyed’); while social historians responded to the theo- retical issues developed by Burke expanding his suggestions or analysing particular M contexts. e essays in this volume constitute a reconsideration of the presence of a ODERN ‘popular’ tradition in Shakespeare’s works, examining this element from a number of di erent perspectives (historical, religious, legal, sociological, etc.) belonging to the context whi produced them; but they can also be read as a contribution towards S TUDIES diminishing the distance between the historians’ readings of documents and socio- cultural contexts and the ‘close readings’ whi are the literary critic’s prerogative. is approa to the issues discussed is not simply to a nowledge the obvious fact 2-2013 that texts live ‘in history’; more signi cantly, it intends to a rm the need for a pro- ductive ex ange of values, perspectives and methods of analysis. is volume shows that su a syncretism is not only possible but also fruitful. e ‘Appendix’ presents a few writers’ and theoreticians’ general statements about the meaning of ‘popular’ followed by texts whi illustrate the cultures, beliefs and prac tices of the people in su elds as religion and spirituality, medicine, labour, resistance and revolt, vagrancy and beggary, festivities, carnival and performance.

The debate about orality is not only old, but illustrious, since it has been revolving, for a couple of centuries, around two fundamental texts of the Western canon, i.e. the Homeric poems, Iliad and Odyssey. And yet, this subject, while inevitably involving the field of ‘orality’, concentrates on a more specific instance of that domain, and, in line with the chronological span of this journal, on a specific time span known as ‘early modern’. This means that the ‘orality’ dealt with in this volume cannot be separated from the phenomenon which characterizes the beginning of the early modern era, i.e. the invention of printing – certainly, a non-Homeric phenomenon. That is why this is an insidious territory. The ‘literature read aloud’ dealt with in the present volume is assailed from every corner by concurrent and competing traditions and procedures of the fruition of literary texts: silent reading of books, which the printing industry made readily available; the subsequent, general increase of literacy, especially in Protestant countries; the explosion (or re-explosion) of the theatre as a secular, open form of entertainment. And yet, all these phenomena, which might seem to discourage and make sadly obsolete

    Per l’edizione del secondo volume degli Avvertimenti della lingua sopra ’l Decamerone di Lionardo Salviati 1. Premessa metodologica Gli Avvertimenti della lingua sopra ’l Decamerone di Lionardo Salviati rappresen- tano il momento conclusivo della rifl essione linguistica del Cinquecento e chiudono il percorso cominciato dal Petrarca aldino nel 15011. L’opera è costituita da due volumi: il primo, che comprende tre libri, viene pubblicato nel 1584 a Venezia presso i fratelli Guerra. Il primo libro è dedicato alle scelte fi lologico-linguistiche che hanno carat- terizzato l’edizione rassettata del Decameron del 15822, nel secondo viene descritto il canone letterario di riferimento, di cui fanno parte gli «Scrittori del buon secolo»3, nel terzo vengono esposte le regole fonetico-fonologiche, grafi che e ortografi che del volgare. Il secondo volume, costituito da due libri, esce a Firenze, presso i Giunti, nel 1586: nel primo l’attenzione è posta sul sostantivo, sull’aggettivo e sull’accompa- gnanome (cioè l’articolo indeterminativo), nel secondo sulle categorie di articolo e di preposizione semplice e articolata (i vicecasi). In questa sede ci soffermeremo su quest’ultimo volume, che rappresenta la parte strettamente grammaticale degli Avvertimenti. Dopo la ristampa all’interno delle 1 Cf. Maraschio (1993, 181).

    SANTA CROCE E DINTORNI Centro Storico di Firenze inscritto nella Lista del Patrimonio Mondiale nel 1982 SOMMARIO / TABLE OF CONTENTS Storia History 4 Itinerario Itinerary 7 Approfondimenti Further Insights 15 Informazioni Information 39 HISTORY In questa visita ti porteremo attraverso il Centro Storico a spasso tra piazza Santa Croce e Borgo degli Albizi e per le vie che li congiungono. Quest’area era anticamente un’isola formata da due bracci dell’Arno che si ricongiungevano all’altezza di via Verdi e di via de’ Benci. Dunque, dal momento che questa era una zona abbastanza isolata, i francescani la scelsero quale loro sede. Piazza Santa Croce venne realizzata circa un secolo dopo l’insediamento dei francescani per accogliere le folle di fedeli. Maestosa si staglia sulla piazza l’imponente basilica di Santa Croce, realizzata anche grazie ai finanziamenti di importanti famiglie del quartiere, come i Bardi, i Peruzzi, i Cerchi e gli Alberti. Le sue vaste dimensioni rispecchiano la popolarità riscossa dai francescani nella zona, grazie alla loro capacità di intessere rapporti fecondi con la popolazione. Così, nel corso del tempo, la basilica è divenuta il tempio di sepoltura di molti artisti, letterati e scienziati italiani, come Michelangelo, Galileo e Machiavelli. L’estrema vicinanza dell’Arno ha fatto sì che l’alluvione del 1966 infliggesse gravissimi danni alla basilica, al convento e al suo patrimonio artistico, tanto da diventare uno dei simboli delle perdite subite dalla città. Nel corso del Rinascimento, tuttavia, data la sua ampiezza e regolarità, la piazza divenne anche il luogo ideale per spettacoli, gare popolari, giostre cavalleresche e feste, come il calcio in costume, che vi si tiene tutt’oggi.

    WELCOME This is the time of year for residents - the halls of galleries and museums are peaceful, making it the ideal moment to linger over attractions that are usually crowded with tourists. Winter is also the season to travel into the hills for skiing and thermal baths, and immersing in the fashion events that take over the city centre. Or if you’d prefer to hide from the cold, then bundle up, light the fire (or a few candles), pour a nice glass of Chianti and snuggle in under a warm blanket.

In the Christian tradition the name "Befana" is a popular version of the Greek term “Epiphany", which was the festivity following Christmas commemorating the visit of the Magi. According to the legend the three wise men on their journey were stopped by an old woman with a broom who asked them where they were going. They told her that they were following a star that would lead them to a newborn baby, and invited her to come along. But she replied that she was busy sweeping and cleaning and did not go. When she realised her mistake, her regret was so great that she continues to wander about Italy and on the Epiphany (January 6, when the Wise Men finally found the baby Jesus), begins rewarding good children and disappointing those who were bad.

  • Challenging Male Authored Poetry: Margherita Costa's Marinist Lyrics
    Challenging Male Authored Poetry: Margherita Costa’s Marinist Lyrics (1638–1639) Julie Louise Robarts ORCID iD 0000-0002-1055-3974 Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2019 School of Languages and Linguistics The University of Melbourne Abstract: Margherita Costa (c.1600–c.1664) authored fourteen books of prose, poetry and theatre that were published between 1630 and 1654. This is the largest printed corpus of texts authored by any woman in early modern Europe. Costa was also a virtuosa singer, performing opera and chamber music in courts and theatres first in Rome, where she was born, and in Florence, Paris, Savoy, Venice, and possibly Brunswick. Her dedicatees and literary patrons were the elite of these courts. This thesis is the first detailed study of Costa as a lyric poet, and of her early works — an enormous production of over 1046 quarto pages of poetry, and 325 pages of love letters, published in four books between 1638 and 1639: La chitarra, Il violino, Lo stipo and Lettere amorose. While archival evidence of Costa’s writing and life is scarce due to her itinerant lifestyle, her published books, and the poetic production of the male literary networks who supported her, provide a rich resource for textual, paratextual and intertextual analysis on which the findings of this study are based. This thesis reveals the role played by Costa in mid-century Marinist poetry and culture. This study identifies the strategies through which Costa opened a space for herself as an author of sensual, comic and grotesque poetry and prose in Marinist and libertine circles in Rome, Florence and Venice.

  • La Novella “In Lingua Furlana” Negli Avvertimenti Della Lingua Sopra 'L
    Franco Finco La novella “in lingua furlana” negli Avvertimenti della lingua sopra ’l Decamerone di Lionardo Salviati Parole chiave: Lionardo Salviati, Decameron, Novella, Lingua friulana, Boccaccio Abstract: The Tale “in Friulian” in the Avvertimenti della lingua sopra ’l Decamerone by Lionardo Salviati. In 1584 Lionardo Salviati, the promoter of the Accademia della Crusca, published the first volume of Avvertimenti della lingua sopra ’l Decamerone. Besides analyzing the features of Boccaccio’s language, the author argues the supremacy of contemporary Florentine over the other Italian dialects. In this book he compares the original text of the shortest tale of the Decameron with its versions in twelve other Italian vernaculars, including Friulian.
