This distinctive collection explores the construction of genealogies—in both the biological sense of procreation and the metaphorical sense of heritage and cultural patrimony. Focusing specifically on the discourses that inform such genealogies, Generation and Degeneration moves from Greco-Roman times to the recent past to retrace generational fantasies and discords in a variety of related contexts, from the medical to the theological, and from the literary to the historical. The discourses on reproduction, biology, degeneration, legacy, and lineage that this book broaches not only bring to the forefront concepts of sexual identity and gender politics but also show how they were culturally constructed and reconstructed through the centuries by medicine, philosophy, the visual arts, law, religion, and literature. The contributors reflect on a wide range of topics—from what makes men “manly” to the identity of Christ’s father, from what kinds of erotic practices went on among women in sixteenth-century seraglios to how men’s hemorrhoids can be variously labeled. Essays scrutinize stories of menstruating males and early writings on the presumed inferiority of female bodily functions. Others investigate a psychomorphology of the clitoris that challenges Freud’s account of lesbianism as an infantile stage of sexual development and such topics as the geographical origins of medicine and the materialization of genealogy in the presence of Renaissance theatrical ghosts. This collection will engage those in English, comparative, Italian, Spanish, and French studies, as well as in history, history of medicine, and ancient and early modern religious studies.

Un breve saggio scritto da Alexander Pope pubblicato sul n. 61 di «The Guardian» il 21 maggio 1713, un veemente attacco al barbaro sfruttamento degli animali, inclusa la macellazione e la vivisezione. Pope riteneva che il dominio dell’uomo sulle bestie, ritenute creature inferiori, fosse il prodotto dell’industrializzazione, del profitto economico e della politica illuminista. Si batté ardentemente in favore del vegetarianesimo come unico strumento di ribellione contro tale tirannia.

The first major history of the bravura movement in European painting The painterly style known as bravura emerged in sixteenth-century Venice and spread throughout Europe during the seventeenth century. While earlier artistic movements presented a polished image of the artist by downplaying the creative process, bravura celebrated a painter’s distinct materials, virtuosic execution, and theatrical showmanship. This resulted in the further development of innovative techniques and a popular understanding of the artist as a weapon-wielding acrobat, impetuous wunderkind, and daring rebel. In Bravura, Nicola Suthor offers the first in-depth consideration of bravura as an artistic and cultural phenomenon. Through history, etymology, and in-depth analysis of works by such important painters as Franҫois Boucher, Caravaggio, Francisco Goya, Frans Hals, Peter Paul Rubens, Tintoretto, and Diego Velázquez, Suthor explores the key elements defining bravura’s richness and power. Suthor delves into how bravura’s unique and groundbreaking methods—visible brushstrokes, sharp chiaroscuro, severe foreshortening of the body, and other forms of visual emphasis—cause viewers to feel intensely the artist’s touch. Examining bravura’s etymological history, she traces the term’s associations with courage, boldness, spontaneity, imperiousness, and arrogance, as well as its links to fencing, swordsmanship, henchmen, mercenaries, and street thugs. Suthor discusses the personality cult of the transgressive, self-taught, antisocial genius, and the ways in which bravura artists, through their stunning displays of skill, sought applause and admiration. Filled with captivating images by painters testing the traditional boundaries of aesthetic excellence, Bravura raises important questions about artistic performance and what it means to create art.

«Un brillante impianto narrativo e una scrittura lucida per un meraviglioso romanzo dei sentimenti.» The Sunday Times su Tre vite «Il frutto perfetto dell’unione di cervello e cuore.» The Spectator su Tre vite «Una scrittura dalla grande profondità emotiva.» The Times Londra, anni Trenta. Matt, un giovane artista squattrinato, sta disegnando su una panchina di St. James’s Park, quando Lorna, insofferente rampolla di una famiglia di Kensington, gli si siede accanto in lacrime, e all’istante scocca il colpo di fulmine. Nel giro di qualche mese i due si sposano e si trasferiscono in un cottage spartano nella campagna del Somerset. Hanno anche una bambina, Molly. Proprio quando la loro felicità pare renderli immuni dalla vita reale, un nuovo personaggio fa la propria comparsa sulla scena, intrusivo, fastidioso, implacabile: la Storia. Scoppia la guerra, e Matt deve partire per il fronte, in Grecia. Londra, anni Sessanta. Molly, ormai ventenne, lavora come segretaria del ricco e raffinato James Portland, con il quale intreccia una relazione da cui nasce Ruth. Nonostante le insistenze dell’uomo, Molly non lo sposa, perché sa di non esserne davvero innamorata. Londra, anni Novanta. Ruth è una giornalista free-lance, sposata e madre di due figli. Il suo matrimonio, però, è irrimediabilmente in crisi, e lei si ritrova a dover mettere in discussione tutto di sé e a imbarcarsi in un viaggio a ritroso negli anni alla riscoperta del passato della sua famiglia. In uno dei suoi romanzi più struggenti, Penelope Lively ci regala il ritratto di tre donne che amano, tre donne che trovano l’amore ciascuna a modo suo, in un intricato dedalo di conseguenze e rimandi. Come sempre accade, è un cuore umano diviso tra gioia e dolore, tra senso di perdita e pienezza, bisognoso di legami e continuità quello che il lettore ritrova in queste pagine. «Penelope Lively sa cogliere perfettamente ciò che si nasconde sotto la superficie della vita delle persone.» The Scotsman «Penelope Lively scrive così bene, assaporando ogni singola parola.» The Daily Telegraph «Penelope Lively si conferma bravissima, capace di emozioni forti, durature, pervasive, nonostante la scrittura elegantissima.» D di Repubblica

Possible Lives uses the saints'lives written by humanists of the Italian Renaissance to explore the intertwining of classical and religious cultures on the eve of the European Reformation. The lives of saints were among the most reproduced and widely distributed literatures of medieval and early modern Europe. During the century before the Reformation, these narratives of impossible goodness fell into the hands of classicizing intellectuals known as humanists. This study examines how the humanist authors received, criticized, and rewrote the traditional stories of exemplary virtue for patrons and audiences who were surprisingly open to their textual experiments. Drawn from a newly constructed catalog of primary sources in manuscript and print, the cases in this book range from the lure of martyrdom as the West confronted Islam to the use of saints'lives in local politics and the rhetorician's classroom. Frazier discusses the writers'perceptions of historical sanctity, the commanding place of the mendicant friars, and one unique account of a contemporary holy woman. Possible Lives shows that the classical Renaissance was also a saintly Renaissance, as humanists deployed their rhetorical and philological skills to "renew the persuasive force of Christian virtue" and "save the cult of the saints." Combining quantitative and anecdotal approaches in a highly readable series of case studies, Frazier reveals the contextual richness of this little-known and unexpectedly large body of Latin hagiography.
