Quarto figlio di Edward White Benson, arcivescovo di Canterbury, Robert Hugh Benson nacque a Wellinton College il 18 novembre 1871. Si laureò al Trinity College di Cambridge e nel 1894 ricevette l’ordinazione come diacono della Chiesa anglicana. All’età di trentuno anni Robert si convertì alla fede cattolica e nel 1904 venne ordinato sacerdote nella chiesa di San Silvestro a Roma. Alcuni anni dopo fece ritorno nella sua casa di campagna a Salford, dove iniziò un’intensa attività di predicazione in tutto il Regno Unito. Colpito da una crisi cardiaca, morì il 19 ottobre 1914. Genio ignorato della letteratura inglese, negletto persino alla cerchia cattolica alla quale si era convertito, Benson fa una breve apparizione nell’orizzonte della Chiesa come una meteora, alla stregua di una cometa che brilla nel cielo attirando lo sguardo dell’osservatore per poi uscire rapidamente dalla sua visuale. Questa raccolta di racconti, dal gusto soprannaturale, ascrivibile al genere weird e fantastico, pubblicata nel 1907 e tradotta per la prima volta nel nostro paese, ci presenta storie inspiegabili, permeate da un crescente senso di tensione e orrore, in un microcosmo dove forze incontrollabili e smisuratamente più potenti e più antiche dell’umanità sono in continua lotta tra loro. Accusate di velata propaganda cattolica, queste novelle furono narrate durante un simposio di sacerdoti che si incontravano ogni sera dopo cena, durante il quale ciascuno di essi narrava la propria esperienza con l’ultraterreno al fine di cercare il consenso dei partecipanti. Lontana eco di Montague Rhodes James, a distinguere i racconti dell’autore presbiteriano da quelli del maestro non è solo l’effetto di immediatezza, scevro da qualsiasi modello preparatorio, ma anche e soprattutto il fatto che il fantasma non si manifesti come spettro visibile bensì come un’atmosfera sinistra, un dubbio o un timore, in una sorta di risposta emotiva slegata dagli eventi che l’hanno ispirata e che ha preso vita da sola. La traduzione è di Anna Cascone.

Italian Forgers takes an unorthodox approach to the fascinating topic of art forgery, focusing not on art forgery per se, but on the major forgery scandals that shifted the Italian art market in response to constant, and often intense, demand for Italian objects. By focusing on power dynamics that both precipitated forgery scandals and forged Italian cultural identities, this book connects the debates and discussions about three well-known Italian forgers—Giovanni Bastianini, Icilio Joni, and Alceo Dossena—to anchor and investigate the mechanics of the Italian art market from unification through the fascist era. Carol Helstosky examines foreign accounts of transactions and Italian writings about the art market. The actions and words of Italian dealers illustrate how the Italian art and antiquities market was an undeniably modern industry, on par with tourism in terms of its contribution to the Italian economy and to understandings of Italian identity. These accounts also reveal how dealers, artists, go-betweens, guides, and restorers worked to not only meet the intense demand for Italian products but also to develop highly sophisticated business practices to maintain financial stability and respond to shifts in demand consciously (but not always conscientiously). Italian Forgers weaves a compelling narrative about the history of Italian identity, forgery, and the value of the past. As a result, Helstosky brings historical perspective to the study of art forgery and art fraud. She reveals how historical circumstances and structural imbalances of cultural power shaped the market for art and antiquities and amplified incidents of art deception and forgery scandals.

Mussolini&’s bold claims upon the monuments and rhetoric of ancient Rome have been the subject of a number of recent books. D. Medina Lasansky shows us a much less familiar side of the cultural politics of Italian Fascism, tracing its wide-ranging efforts to adapt the nation&’s medieval and Renaissance heritage to satisfy the regime&’s programs of national regeneration. Anyone acquainted with the beauties of Tuscany will be surprised to learn that architects, planners, and administrators working within Fascist programs fabricated much of what today&’s tourists admire as authentic. Public squares, town halls, palaces, gardens, and civic rituals (including the famed Palio of Siena) were all &“restored&” to suit a vision of the past shaped by Fascist notions of virile power, social order, and national achievement in the arts. Ultimately, Lasansky forces readers to question long-standing assumptions about the Renaissance even as she expands the parameters of what constitutes Fascist culture. The arguments in The Renaissance Perfected are based in fresh archival evidence and a rich collection of illustrations, many reproduced for the first time, ranging from photographs and architectural drawings to tourist posters and film stills. Lasansky&’s groundbreaking book will be essential reading for students of medieval, Renaissance, and twentieth-century Italy as well as all those concerned with visual culture, architectural preservation, heritage studies, and tourism studies.

This book highlights the close interactions between plants, plant knowledge, politics, and social life in Padua during the age of revolution. It explores the lives and thoughts of two brothers, the lawyer Andrea Meneghini and the botanist GiuseppeMeneghini, illustrating the unspoken dreams of progress and a new social order, but also sheds light on the ambiguous relationship between the Paduan elite and Austrian rule before the 1848 revolution. A closer look at park designs, gardening associations and networks, fl ower exhibitions, agricultural societies, organicist metaphors, and botanical research on the organization of living bodies opens up unexpected parallels between actors and ideas of two apparently distant areas: botany and political economy.

This volume is the first comprehensive study of the influence of English Pre-Raphaelitism on Italian art and culture in the late nineteenth century. Analysis of the cultural relations between Italy and Britain has focused traditionally on the special place that Italy had in the British imagination, but the cultural and artistic exchanges between the two countries have been much misunderstood. This book aims to correct this imbalance by placing Pre-Rapahelitism in its European context. It explores the nature of its influence on Italy, how it was transmitted, and how it was manifested, by focusing on the role of Italian Anglophiles, the English communities in Florence and Rome, the writings of Gabriele D'Annunzio, and a number of Italian artists active in Tuscany and Rome. The works of Cellini, Ricci, Gioja, De Carolis, and Sartorio in particular fully demonstrate the impact of Pre-Raphaelitism on the young Italian school of painting which found in the English movement an ideal link with its glorious past on which it could build a new artistic identity. These artists show that English Pre-Raphaelitism was one of the most powerful single influences on fin-de-siecle Italian culture.

Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) has often been considered a particularly British writer in part as his official post as Poet Laureate inevitably committed him to a certain amount of patriotic writing. This volume focuses on his impact on the continent, presenting a major scholarly analysis of Tennyson's wider reception in different areas of Europe. It considers reader and critical responses and explores the effect of his poetry upon his contemporaries and later writers, as well as his influence upon illustrators, painters and musicians. The leading international contributors raise questions of translation and publication and of the choices made for this purpose along with the way in which his ideas and style influenced European writing and culture. Tennyson's reputation in Anglophone countries is now assured, following a decline in the years after his death. This volume enables us to chart the changes in Tennyson's European reputation during the later 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
