The enduring "black legend" of the Italian Counter-Reformation, which has held sway in both scholarly and popular culture, maintains that the Council of Trent ushered in a cultural dark age in Italy, snuffing out the spectacular creative production of the Renaissance. As a result, the decades following Trent have been mostly overlooked in Italian literary studies, in particular. The thirteen essays of Innovation in the Italian Counter-Reformation present a radical reconsideration of literary production in post-Tridentine Italy. With particular attention to the much-maligned tradition of spiritual literature, the volume’s contributors weave literary analysis together with religion, theater, art, music, science, and gender to demonstrate that the literature of this period not only merits study but is positively innovative. Contributors include such renowned critics as Virginia Cox and Amadeo Quondam, two of the leading scholars on the Italian Counter-Reformation. Distributed for UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE PRESS

This volume focuses on acts of courage, defiance, and sacrifice undertaken during World War I and II by individuals that mainstream history has relegated to the sidelines. Drawn from different genres – literary, cinematic, diaristic and historical – the experiences that these ‘outsiders’ confronted lay bare the intimate, if lacerating, choices that they faced in their struggle for freedom. Ignored by official history, the testimonials that war prisoners, female partisan leaders, spies, deserters, and disillusioned soldiers offer, provide a fresh insight into the social, political, historical, and ethical contradictions that define warfare rhetoric in the twentieth century. The book’s ten contributors delve into the conflicts between oppressive authorities and the desire for freedom. With verve and energy, they revive these largely neglected voices and turn them into a provocative medium to discuss, and redefine, issues still relevant today: heroism, pacifism, national pride, gender issues, faith, personal and collective history.

Edizione integrale con testo latino a fronte Introduzione e traduzione di Mario Ramous Saggio critico di Emilio Pianezzola In Appendice: Dizionario mitologico - Indice dei nomi - Indice tematico L’edizione delle Metamorfosi nella collana dei Grandi libri Garzanti è corredata da un ricco apparato di contributi, note e glossari: all’Introduzione di Mario Ramous, che firma anche la traduzione del poema, si affianca l’approfondito saggio del latinista Emilio Pianezzola sulla fortuna di Ovidio nella letteratura e nelle arti figurative. Le appendici comprendono: un Dizionario mitologico con le figure del mito greco-romano sia direttamente nominate sia solo evocate da Ovidio; un Indice dei nomi con tutti i personaggi e i luoghi citati nel testo e le relative occorrenze (con riferimento ai libri e ai versi); un Indice tematico delle favole mitologiche narrate nel poema. La versione digitale del capolavoro di Ovidio si avvale di link bilingui che libro per libro consentono di passare dalla traduzione italiana al testo originale in lingua latina. Per un raffronto più puntuale tra l’italiano e il latino, è possibile utilizzare la numerazione dei versi: cliccando sul numero posto accanto ai versi della traduzione italiana si viene rinviati ai versi corrispondenti del testo originale; viceversa, cliccando sui versi in lingua originale si passa ai corrispettivi versi in italiano. Nelle Metamorfosi, composte tra il 3 e l’8 d.C., Ovidio rielabora una materia letteraria vasta e complessa attinta a diverse fonti greche e latine. Sotto le sembianze di un monumentale poema epico in esametri prende forma il romanzo della mitologia: un sontuoso arazzo di favole e leggende del mondo antico, accomunate dal tema della trasformazione di figure del mito in piante, animali, sassi, fonti, astri, che delinea una storia dell’universo e del genere umano e una inedita enciclopedia della natura. Il gusto di Ovidio per il dettaglio non si ferma alla descrizione delle forme che mutano – pur resa con potente arte plastica – ma restituisce anche, con sensibilissima umanità, le variazioni emotive che si producono nel corso della metamorfosi stessa, colta nella sua ambivalenza di processo distruttivo e al tempo stesso di esuberante manifestazione vitale. L’origine del Cosmo dal Caos, la lotta di Giove con i Titani, le storie di Fetonte e di Apollo e Dafne, i miti di Bacco e di Orfeo, la leggenda di Re Mida e le fatiche di Ercole sono solo alcuni degli episodi che Ovidio armonizza nell’unità poetica di quest’opera, la cui forza immaginativa ha fecondato nei secoli la letteratura e le arti figurative.

Only recently have scholars turned their attention to Silius Italicus' Punica, a poem the reputation of which was eclipsed by the emergence of Virgil’s Aeneid as the canonical Latin epos of Augustan Rome. This collection of essays aims at examining the importance of Silius' historical epic in Flavian, Domitianic Rome by offering a detailed overview of the poem's context and intertext, its themes and images, and its reception from antiquity through Renaissance and modern philological criticism. This pioneering volume is the first comprehensive, collaborative study on the longest epic poem in Latin literature.
