Carroll Boston University, USA ABSTRACT This paper examines one aspect of the two-way cultural traffic between London and Padua: how the city of Padua figured in debates about the nature of masculinity in early modern London, especially its theatres. Invariably known primarily for its university—noted by Coryat and Moryson, a tourist attraction for Chaucer, Sidney, and Milton—the name “Padua” became synonymous with “erudition.” While learnedness was in theory a positive quality, the place of learnedness in a declining honor culture and its complex role in constituting masculinity remained a contentious subject. English writers by turns envied or scorned the learning acquired in Italy, and invocations of Padua and its link to rapier fencing resulted in a series of contradictory figures in the drama of Shakespeare and Webster: doctors, pedants, enlightened philosophers, lovers, murderers for hire. KEYWORDS: Shakespeare; Webster; Jonson; Padua; Italy; university; fencing; masculinity; honor. “Le conocí en Padua”: El teatro de “Conheci-o em Pádua”: O teatro de Londres y las construcciones de la Londres e as construções da erudição na erudición en la temprana edad moderna idade proto-moderna RESUMEN: Este artículo examina un as- RESUMO: Este artigo examina um aspeto pecto del tráfico cultural de ida y vuelta do tráfico cultural mútuo entre Londres e entre Londres y Padua: cómo la ciudad Pádua: como Pádua aparecia nos debates de Padua aparecía en debates acerca de la sobre a natureza da masculinidade em naturaleza de la masculinidad en el Londres na idade proto-moderna, especi- Londres de la edad moderna, especial- almente nos seus teatros.
