Concerned about sanitation during a severe bout of plague in Milan, Leonardo da Vinci designed an ideal, clean city. Leonardo was far from alone among his contemporaries in thinking about personal and public hygiene, as Douglas Biow shows in The Culture of Cleanliness in Renaissance Italy. A concern for cleanliness, he argues, was everywhere in the Renaissance.Anxieties about cleanliness were expressed in literature from humanist panegyrics to bawdy carnival songs, as well as in the visual arts. Biow surveys them all to explain why the topic so permeated Renaissance culture. At one level, cleanliness, he documents, was a matter of real concern in the Renaissance. At another, he finds, issues such as human dignity, self-respect, self-discipline, social distinction, and originality were rethought as a matter of artistic concern.The Culture of Cleanliness in Renaissance Italy moves from the clean to the unclean, from the lofty to the base. Biow first examines the socially elevated, who defined and distinguished themselves as clean, pure, and polite. He then turns to soap, an increasingly common commodity in this period, and the figure of the washerwoman. Finally he focuses on latrines, which were universally scorned yet functioned artistically as figures of baseness, creativity, and fun in the works of Dante and Boccaccio. Paralleling this social stratification is a hierarchy of literary and visual artifacts, from the discourse of high humanism to filthy curses and scatological songs. Deftly bringing together high and low-as well as literary and visual-cultures, this book provides a fresh perspective on the Italian Renaissance and its artistic legacy.

Robert Durling's spirited new prose translation of the Paradiso completes his masterful rendering of the Divine Comedy. Durling's earlier translations of the Inferno and the Purgatorio garnered high praise, and with this superb version of the Paradiso readers can now traverse the entirety of Dante's epic poem of spiritual ascent with the guidance of one of the greatest living Italian-to-English translators. Reunited with his beloved Beatrice in the Purgatorio, in the Paradiso the poet-narrator journeys with her through the heavenly spheres and comes to know "the state of blessed souls after death." As with the previous volumes, the original Italian and its English translation appear on facing pages. Readers will be drawn to Durling's precise and vivid prose, which captures Dante's extraordinary range of expression--from the high style of divine revelation to colloquial speech, lyrical interludes, and scornful diatribes against corrupt clergy. This edition boasts several unique features. Durling's introduction explores the chief interpretive issues surrounding the Paradiso, including the nature of its allegories, the status in the poem of Dante's human body, and his relation to the mystical tradition. The notes at the end of each canto provide detailed commentary on historical, theological, and literary allusions, and unravel the obscurity and difficulties of Dante's ambitious style . An unusual feature is the inclusion of the text, translation, and commentary on one of Dante's chief models, the famous cosmological poem by Boethius that ends the third book of his Consolation of Philosophy. A substantial section of Additional Notes discusses myths, symbols, and themes that figure in all three cantiche of Dante's masterpiece. Finally, the volume includes a set of indexes that is unique in American editions, including Proper Names Discussed in the Notes (with thorough subheadings concerning related themes), Passages Cited in the Notes, and Words Discussed in the Notes, as well as an Index of Proper Names in the text and translation. Like the previous volumes, this final volume includes a rich series of illustrations by Robert Turner.

A landmark in the study of early modern Europe, this two-volume collection makes available for the first time a selection of the most important texts from court and civic festival books. Festival entertainments were presented to mark such occasions as royal and ducal entries to capital cities, dynastic marriages, the birth and christening of heirs, religious feasts and royal and ducal funerals. Europa Triumphans represents the chronological and trans-European range of the court and civic festival. These festivals are considered not simply as texts, but as events, and are introduced by groups of scholars, each with a specialist knowledge of the political, social and cultural significance of the festival and of the iconography, spectacle, music, dance, voice and gesture in which they were expressed. To demonstrate the geographic spread and political significance of festivals, and to illustrate the range of aesthetic languages they deploy, the festivals included in these two volumes are grouped in the following sections: Henri III; Genoa; Poland-Lithuania; The Netherlands; The Protestant Union; La Rochelle; Scandinavia; and The New World. These texts provide many valuable insights into the variety of political systems and historical circumstances that formed them. Beautifully produced with 148 black-and-white and 23 colour illustrations, Europa Triumphans represents an invaluable reference source for the study of early modern Europe. It presents texts both in transcription and translated into English, and is supplemented with introductory essays and commentaries. Europa Triumphans is co-published by Ashgate and the Modern Humanities Research Association, in conjunction with the AHRB Centre for the Study of the Renaissance at the University of Warwick, UK.

Alcione [alˈtʃoːne, alˈtʃɔːne]) è il titolo di una raccolta di 88 poesie del poeta italiano Gabriele D'Annunzio, scritte tra il 1899 e il 1903 e pubblicate nel 1903. Era inteso come il terzo volume di un'opera di sette libri intitolata Laudi del cielo, del mare, della terra e degli eroi che fu successivamente interrotta nel 1912 con soli quattro volumi pubblicati: Maia, Elettra, Halcyon e Merope. Il 7 luglio 1899, D'Annunzio scrisse al suo editore Treves su una lunga e complessa opera lirica che stava sviluppando. I sette libri della Laudi prendono il nome dalle stelle dell'ammasso delle Pleiadi. Di questi, i primi tre furono pubblicati nel 1903, mentre Merope fu pubblicato nel 1912. D'Annunzio riprende a scrivere poesie dopo una lunga pausa (la sua ultima opera lirica, Poema paradisiaco è datata 1893), durante la quale conduce una vita movimentata tra viaggi, esperienze politiche e il legame sentimentale appena stabilito con l'attrice Eleonora Duse. Halcyon è visto dal poeta come un radicale allontanamento dalla sua opera precedente, in cui sente di scrivere più liberamente, abbandonando modelli, forme e personaggi del passato senza rinunciare alla vastissima cultura che, di fatto, scaturisce da Halcyon, passando dalla mitologia greca antica, alle citazioni latine e alle reminiscenze rinascimentali italiane. Halcyon comprende 88 poesie, ordinate con un metodo strutturale che non riflette l'ordine cronologico di composizione. Tra il primo ("La tregua") e l'ultimo ("Il commiato") si delinea l'ideale di un'estate trascorsa tra gioia sentimentale e realizzazione poetica. La collezione è divisa in cinque sezioni interrotte da quattro lunghi ditirambi. Le sue poesie più note sono forse La pioggia nel pineto e La sera fiesola. Queste due opere liriche sono comunemente apprese nel Liceo come alti esempi di poesia decadentista.
