  • Diego De Moxena, El Liber Sine Nomine De Petrarca Y El Concilio De Constanza
    Quaderns d’Italià 20, 2015 59-87 Diego de Moxena, el Liber sine nomine de Petrarca y el concilio de Constanza Íñigo Ruiz Arzalluz Universidad del País Vasco / Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea [email protected] Resumen Diego de Moxena, franciscano probablemente castellano activo en el concilio de Cons- tanza, escribe el 9 de julio de 1415 a Fernando I de Aragón una carta en la que le insta a sumarse al concilio y reconsiderar su apoyo a Benedicto XIII. El escrito de Moxena revela un uso del Liber sine nomine de Petrarca —advertido ya por Isaac Vázquez Janeiro— que resulta especialmente llamativo: además de tratarse de un testimonio muy temprano en la historia del petrarquismo hispano, el conjunto formado por el prefacio y las dos primeras epístolas del Liber sine nomine no viene utilizado como un simple repertorio de sentencias, sino que constituye el modelo sobre el que se construye la carta en la que, por lo demás y extraordinariamente, en ningún momento se menciona el nombre de Petrarca. De otro lado, se ponen en cuestión algunas de las fuentes postuladas por Vázquez Janeiro y se ofrece una nueva edición de la carta de fray Diego. Palabras clave: Diego de Moxena; Petrarca; Liber sine nomine; concilio de Constanza; petrarquismo hispano; Dietrich von Münster. Abstract. Diego de Moxena, the Liber sine nomine and the Council of Constance On the 9th of July in 1415, Diego de Moxena, very likely a Castilian Franciscan active in the Council of Constance, wrote a letter to Ferdinand I of Aragon in which he urged him to attend the Council and to reconsider his support to Benedict XIII.

Lawrence Martin Dean of the Graduate School ii Abstract of the Dissertation The Civic Virtue of Women in Quattrocento Florence by Christine Contrada Doctor of Philosophy in History Stony Brook University 2010 Fifteenth century Florence has long been viewed as the epicenter of Renaissance civilization and a cradle of civic humanism. This dissertation seeks to challenge the argument that the cardinal virtues, as described by humanists like Leonardo Bruni and Matteo Palmieri, were models of behavior that only men adhered to. Elite men and women alike embraced the same civic ideals of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. Although they were not feminists advocating for social changes, women like Alessandra Strozzi, Margherita Datini, and Lucrezia Tornabuoni had a great deal of opportunity to actively support their own interests and the interests of their kin within popular cultural models of civic virtue.

  • From Sidney to Heywood: the Social Status of Commercial Theatre in Early Modern London
    From Sidney to Heywood: the social status of commercial theatre in early modern London Romola Nuttall (King’s College London, UK) The Literary London Journal, Volume 14 Number 1 (Spring 2017) Abstract Thomas Heywood’s Apology for Actors (written c. 1608, published 1612) is one of the only stand-alone, printed deFences of the proFessional theatre to emerge from the early modern period. Even more significantly, it is ‘the only contemporary complete text we have – by an early modern actor about early modern actors’ (Griffith 191). This is rather surprising considering how famous playwrights and drama of that period have become, but it is revealing of attitudes towards the profession and the stage at the turn of the sixteenth century. Religious concerns Formed a central part of the heated public debate which contested the social value oF proFessional drama during the early modern era. Claims against the literary status of work produced for the commercial stage were also frequently levelled against the theatre from within the establishment, a prominent example being Sir Philip Sidney’s Defence of Poesie (written c. 1579, published 1595). Considering Heywood’s Apology in relation to Sidney’s Defence, and thinking particularly about the ways these treatises appropriate the classical idea oF mimesis and the consequent social value of literature, gives fresh insight into the changing status of drama in Shakespeare’s lifetime and how attitudes towards commercial theatre developed between the 1570s and 1610s. The following article explores these ideas within the framework of the London in which Heywood and his acting company lived and worked.

NEIL CARSON UNIVERSITY OF LONDON WESTFIELD COLLEGE I)IN 1 ABSTRACT This dissertation is an attempt to describe the characteristics of Thomas Heywood's dramatic style. The study is divided into three parts. The first deals with the playwright's theatrical career and discusses how his practical experience as actor and sharer might have affected his technique as a dramatic writer. The second part defines the scope of the investigation and contains the bulk of the analysis of Heywood's plays. My approach to the mechanics of playwriting is both practical and theoretical. I have attempted to come to an understanding of the technicalities of Heywood's craftsmanship by studying the changes he made in Sir Thomas Moore and in the sources he used for his plays. At the same time, I have tried to comprehend the aesthetic framework within which he worked by referring to the critical ideas of the period and especially to opinions expressed by Heywood him- self in An Apology for Actors and elsewhere.

  • Studies in Early Mediterranean Poetics and Cosmology
    The Ruins of Paradise: Studies in Early Mediterranean Poetics and Cosmology by Matthew M. Newman A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Classical Studies) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Richard Janko, Chair Professor Sara L. Ahbel-Rappe Professor Gary M. Beckman Associate Professor Benjamin W. Fortson Professor Ruth S. Scodel Bind us in time, O Seasons clear, and awe. O minstrel galleons of Carib fire, Bequeath us to no earthly shore until Is answered in the vortex of our grave The seal’s wide spindrift gaze toward paradise. (from Hart Crane’s Voyages, II) For Mom and Dad ii Acknowledgments I fear that what follows this preface will appear quite like one of the disorderly monsters it investigates. But should you find anything in this work compelling on account of its being lucid, know that I am not responsible. Not long ago, you see, I was brought up on charges of obscurantisme, although the only “terroristic” aspects of it were self- directed—“Vous avez mal compris; vous êtes idiot.”1 But I’ve been rehabilitated, or perhaps, like Aphrodite in Iliad 5 (if you buy my reading), habilitated for the first time, to the joys of clearer prose. My committee is responsible for this, especially my chair Richard Janko and he who first intervened, Benjamin Fortson. I thank them. If something in here should appear refined, again this is likely owing to the good taste of my committee. And if something should appear peculiarly sensitive, empathic even, then it was the humanity of my committee that enabled, or at least amplified, this, too.

Kidnie AHB 0N05 x85830 [email protected] Description: This course focuses on the creation and staging of professional theatre in the age of Shakespeare. Students will study architectural evidence of performance spaces and consider how these spaces might have been put to use in practice, they will be introduced to practical theatrical concerns such as company organisation, payments for scripts, theatrical collaboration, rehearsal, and censorship, and they will examine and discuss surviving textual evidence of the revision and transmission of dramatic manuscripts through to performance. 6 January Introduction to the course Plus seminar assignments. 13 January Early modern stages Dramatists and actors had a shared understanding of the theatres in which their plays would be performed, and the opportunities these spaces provided.

The History of the Book is booming these days, as Cyndia Susan Clegg justly observes in a recent review essay: “History of the Book: An Undisciplined Discipline” (RQ 54 [2001] 221–45). Jones’s useful book would fit nicely on the shelf with those reviewed by Clegg — probably next to Brian Richardson’s somewhat meatier and more detailed Printing, Writers and Readers in Renaissance Italy (Cambridge, 1999). While Richardson surveys Italian printing through a wide lens that takes in its technology, finances, and audience, as well as its total production through the sixteenth century, Jones focuses on the Latin and Greek texts printed from 1465 to 1500, which constitute only about 6% of the books of the incunable period (9).
