Bell, III ___________________________ Roberto Dainotto ___________________________ Valeria Finucci An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University 2018 Copyright by Laura Banella 2018 Abstract Rewriting Dante explores Dante’s reception and the construction of his figure as an author in early lyric anthologies and modern editions. While Dante’s reception and his transformation into a cultural authority have traditionally been investigated from the point of view of the Commedia, I argue that these lyric anthologies provide a new perspective for understanding how the physical act of rewriting Dante’s poems in various combinations and with other texts has shaped what I call after Foucault the Dante function” and consecrated Dante as an author from the Middle Ages to Modernity. The study of these lyric anthologies widens our understanding of the process of Dante’s canonization as an author and, thus, as an authority (auctor & auctoritas), advancing our awareness of authors both as entities that generate power and that are generated by power. -

The Root Of All Evil: Civic Genealogy From Brunetto To Dante Abstract ABSTRACT THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL: CIVIC GENEALOGY FROM BRUNETTO TO DANTE Chelsea A. Pomponio Kevin Brownlee From the thirteenth century well into the Renaissance, the legend of Florence’s origins, which cast Fiesole as the antithesis of Florentine values, was continuously rewritten to reflect the changing nature of Tuscan society. Modern criticism has tended to dismiss the legend of Florence as a purely literary conceit that bore little relation to contemporary issues. Tracing the origins of the legend in the chronicles of the Duecento to its variants in the works of Brunetto Latini and Dante Alighieri, I contend that the legend was instead a highly adaptive mode of legitimation that proved crucial in the negotiation of medieval Florentine identity. My research reveals that the legend could be continually rewritten to serve the interests of collective and individual authorities. Versions of the legend were crafted to support both republican Guelfs and imperial Ghibellines; to curry favor with the Angevin rulers of Florence and to advance an ethnocentric policy against immigrants; to support the feudal system of privilege and to condemn elite misrule; to denounce the mercantile value of profit and ot praise economic freedom. -

Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-00614-0 - The Cambridge Companion to Petrarch Edited by Albert Russell Ascoli and Unn Falkeid Frontmatter More information the cambridge companion to petrarch Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca, 1304–1374), best known for his influential collec- tion of Italian lyric poetry dedicated to his beloved Laura, was also a remarkable classical scholar, a deeply religious thinker, and a philosopher of secular ethics. In this wide-ranging study, chapters by leading scholars view Petrarch’s life through his works, from the epic Africa to the “Letter to Posterity,” from the Canzoniere to the vernacular epic Triumphi. Petrarch is revealed as the heir to the converging influences of classical cultural and medieval Christianity, but also to his great vernacular precursor, Dante, and his friend, collaborator, and sly critic, Boccaccio. Particular attention is given to Petrach’s profound influence on the Humanist movement and on the courtly cult of vernacular love poetry, while raising important questions as to the validity of the distinction between medieval and modern, and what is lost in attempting to classify this elusive figure. albert russell ascoli is Gladyce Arata Terrill Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

Naples and the Landscape of Virgilian Otium in the Carmina Bucolica of Petrarch and Boccaccio
Naples and the Landscape of Virgilian otium in the Carmina Bucolica of Petrarch and Boccaccio Ian Fielding Illinois Classical Studies, Volume 40, Number 1, 2015, pp. 185-205 (Article) Published by University of Illinois Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/588395 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] Naples and the Landscape of Virgilian otium in the Carmina Bucolica of Petrarch and Boccaccio IAN FIELDING This article explains how Virgil’s traditional association with Naples inspired the fourteenth-century humanist poets Francesco Petrarca and Giovanni Boccaccio to set their own Virgilian eclogues in the same city. Petrarch began his Bucolicum Carmen by composing an allegorical eclogue about the death of his patron Robert of Anjou, the King of Naples; and in imitation of this poem, his admiring friend Boccaccio later wrote a series of Neapolitan eclogues depicting the events that followed Robert’s death. As Petrarch and Boccaccio each had different relationships with Naples, it will be shown that the city represents their respective ideals of poetic otium. On Easter Sunday, 8 April 1341, Francesco Petrarca became the first poet since antiquity to receive the honor of the laurel crown.1 The coronation ceremony was held on the Capitoline Hill in Rome but, had Petrarch chosen differently, it might have taken place at the Castel Nuovo in Naples.2 It was there that he had spent three days in an oral examination conducted by King Robert of An- jou, “Il Saggio” himself, before being formally recommended for laureation. -

Long taken to be a closed circuit within, or a derivative offshoot of, the genre’s history, the eclogues of Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio at once accentuated the metageneric elements of classical pastoral and influenced the future of pastoral representations through their consistent exploration of pastoral’s boundary- crossing double move—an expansionary movement outward into the representational terrain of other genres and a recuperative (and incorporative) return to the fold.
