The years 1676 and 1774 marked two turning points in the social and legal treatment of madness in England. In 1676, London’s Bethlehem Hospital expanded in grand new premises, and in 1774 the Madhouses Act attempted to limit confinement of the insane. This study explores almost a century of the English history of madness through the texts of five poets who were considered mentally troubled according to contemporary standards: James Carkesse, Anne Finch, William Collins, Christopher Smart and William Cowper were hospitalized, sequestered or exiled from society. Their works cope with representations of insanity, medical definitions or practices, imputed illness, and the judging eye of the ‘sane other’, shedding new light on the dis/continuities in the notion of madness of this period.

18th century philosopher Edmund Burke wrote, 'deformity is opposed, not to beauty, but to the complete, common form. If one of the legs of a man be found shorter than the other, the man is deformed; because there is something wanting to complete the whole idea we form of a man'. During the long 18th century, new ideas from aesthetics and the emerging scientific disciplines of physics, biology and zoology contributed to changing fundamental notions about human form, function and ability. The interrelated concepts of the natural and the beautiful coalesced into a hegemonic ideology of form, one which defined communal standards regarding which aspects of human appearance and ability would be considered typical and socially acceptable and which would not. An essential resource for researchers, scholars and students of history, literature, culture and education, A Cultural History of Disability in the Long Eighteenth Century explores such themes and topics as: atypical bodies; mobility impairment; chronic pain and illness; blindness; deafness; speech; learning difficulties; and mental health.

The stylistic and cultural discourse concerning the narratives of mental disorder is the main focus of Symptoms of Disorder: Reading Madness in British Literature 1744-1845. This collection offers new insights into the representation of madness in British literature between two landmark dates for the social, philosophical and medical history of mental deviance: 1744 and 1845. In 1744, the Vagrancy Act first mentions 'lunatics' as a specific category, which is itself a social 'symptom' of an emerging need for isolation and confinement of the insane. A more sophisticated and attentive care of the 'fool' is testified only by the 1845 Lunatic Asylums Act, which established specific processes safeguarding against the wrongful detention of patients in public and private facilities. In stressing for the first time the momentous change the notion of madness underwent between these years, this book provides a fresh and absolutely unique perspective on some of the major works connected with mental disorder. The chronological boundaries also provide the collection with a definite and unifying frame, which comprises social, cultural, legal and medical aspects of madness as an historical phenomenon. It is within this frame that the eight essays composing the body of the book discuss how madness is recounted, or even experienced, by authors such as Christopher Smart and William Cowper, William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Thomas Perceval, Samuel Richardson, Charlotte Lennox, Eliza Haywood, and Alfred Tennyson. Symptoms of Disorder draws a wide-ranging map of different representations of madness and their historic functioning between the 18th and 19th centuries. The organizational principle of this collection is a double perspective, which allows to suitably articulate the characterizations of insanity into themes and genres. Reflecting the two main ways in which literary madness can be employed as a critical device in literature, the chapters are grouped into theme-oriented and writer-oriented analyses. Other collections dealing with literature and madness have already coped, to a certain degree, with works that represent insane characters and authors who adopt 'deviant' voices as a fictional or rhetoric expedient. Fewer studies of the same kind, instead, have offered a more comprehensive picture by also looking at the alleged insanity of the writer, and at those linguistic, stylistic and semantic elements which at some stage were commonly believed to be an expression of insanity. This is one of the first studies which addresses the representation of madness from both these intertwined perspectives. See www.cambriapress.com/books/9781604979251.cfm for more information.

This study offers a novel approach to a longstanding problem in Slavic Linguistics, the formal representation of the Northern Russian participial constructions in -n(o)/-t(o). Unlike previous works, the methodological stance adopted by the author focuses on singling out all the relevant patterns of variation and on pursuing a unified explanation for them. The key to the solution of the puzzle is the idea that the participial affix -n-/-t- and the agreement inflections are not just pieces of morphology inserted post-syntactically, but true heads that enter the computation and are able to manipulate the argumental roles of the verb and to check the EPP. The author’s proposal is properly framed in the context of current debate on interlanguage variation.

The book takes its lead from academic Annamaria Pagliaro’s experience straddling Australia and Italy over a thirty-year period. As both former colleagues and collaborators of Pagliaro, we editors intend to open a kaleidoscope of perspectives on the international research landscape in the fields of Italian and Anglophone studies, starting from Pagliaro’s own contribution to the creation of relations between the two cultures in the period that saw her work transnationally as Director of the Monash University Prato Centre (2005-2008).

La cesura tra la prima e la seconda parte del Novecento rappresenta una frattura epocale che segna il “tramonto della modernità” e rende inattingibile la tradizione, ponendo in questione la persistenza stessa del linguaggio poetico. L’indagine proposta attraverso i contributi qui raccolti ha come argomento il segmento dell’attività ungarettiana – poetica, traduttoria e critica – che si sviluppa a seguito di tale frattura, con l’intento di misurarne le caratteristiche, la complessa ricezione e l’attualità, a contatto con la storia e in dialogo con le altre poetiche del secondo Novecento. Ne risulta un quadro sfaccettato che ambisce a tracciare un primo quanto provvisorio bilancio dell’attività dell’ultimo Ungaretti, nonché dell’eredità lasciata presso le generazioni successive.

Tra la scrittura di Luigi Meneghello e il mondo naturale sussiste un legame implicito eppur profondo, destinato a riverberarsi in quelle che sono le pieghe del testo, sollecitando letture inedite e trasversali. E l’ecocritica, in tal caso, diviene non solo un punto di partenza privilegiato, ma si assume il compito di riflettere più a fondo su quelli che, a conti fatti, divengono i tratti salienti del Meneghello eco-scrittore: dall’emergenza ambientale, alla semantica dei luoghi; dalla concezione del testo quale ‘ecosistema’, alle storie sulle cose e sulla materia; per poi approdare, nella seconda parte del volume, al racconto sul regno animale, teso a ridefinire l’assetto valoriale dell’Homo sapiens e il suo posto in questa biosfera narrata.

Il volume ricostruisce la nascita e l’evoluzione della storiografia letteraria italiana in Francia e in Inghilterra durante il XIX secolo. Nel contesto francese, una lettura comparata delle opere di P.-L. Ginguené e J.C.L. Simonde de Sismondi conferma come il soggetto avesse già raggiunto la sua maturità all’inizio del secolo. In Inghilterra, il percorso che conduce da U. Foscolo a J.A. Symonds attraversa invece molteplici generi e fonti, che includono raccolte di biografie, antologie di traduzioni, libri di viaggio, storie di singoli generi letterari, storie del Medioevo e del Rinascimento. Una software pipeline è testata e messa a punto al termine del percorso, con l’obiettivo di espandere l’analisi tramite gli strumenti computazionali delle Digital Humanities.

Con questo libro curato da Dario Collini, che raccoglie il lavoro di giovani ricercatori guidati da Anna Dolfi («GREM» «NGEM») che si sono occupati dei 17.000 pezzi epistolari del Fondo Macrì, si offre uno straordinario strumento di lavoro a chi si interessa di Ermetismo, di critica e poesia del Novecento italiano. Ombre dal fondo o ‘luci intermittenti’ che siano, i bagliori mandati dagli epistolari sono segni della genesi umana della cultura, visto che conservano traccia di quanto è legato al quotidiano che contribuisce alla costruzione della ‘grande’ storia e della progettualità; intellettuale e politica che l’accompagna. Ecco allora che letture, libri, riviste, collaborazioni, amicizie, risentimenti, viaggi, passioni letterarie e private emergono da questi regesti, a dare voce a un’epoca e ai suoi protagonisti.
