Publications of the Centre for Renaissance and Reformation Studies (CRRS) Victoria College University of Toronto The Centre for Renaissance and Reformation Studies at Victoria College in the University of Toronto has been publishing its own series of books since 1979. In the next few slides we will present a number of recent publications that might be of interest to participants at the “Masculinities in the Premodern World” conference. For further information and to order books, please visit the CRRS publications page at: https://crrs.ca/pub/ The Poetics of Masculinity in Early Modern Italy and Spain. Ed. Gerry Milligan and Jane Tylus “What is especially innovative about this collection is its success in moving beyond the obvious cultural focus of the topic to consider how literary genre also affected the way masculinity was viewed. Such an approach brings a fresh perspective on current debates about the nature, extent and contemporary meaning of male/male sexual practices in the pre-modern and early modern period.” — Guido Ruggiero, University of Miami 398 pages $49.95, ISBN 978-0-7727-2059-7 (softcover) $59.95, ISBN 978-0-77272071-9 (hardcover) https://crrs.ca/publications/es22/ Contents 1.

Jennifer Mara DeSilva & Pascale Rihouet In this collection, six essays symbiotically expose the long-lasting ramifications of possessi in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Rome. This triumphant parade affected architecture and urbanism, triggered new art forms (prints of the cavalcade or arches and chiaroscuro painting), and connected ephemera with the popular demand for moral economy.

Damiano Acciarino This collection offers a set of new readings on the history, meanings, and cultural innovations of the grotesque as defined by various current cultural critical theories and practices. Since the grotesque frequently manifests itself as striking incongruities, ingenious hybrids, and creative deformities of nature and culture, it is profoundly implicated in early modern debates on the theological, philosophical, and ethical role of images.
