A Female Apostle in Medieval Italy
(Dis)placing the foreign in early modern Europe
Torquato Tasso, Italy's foremost early modern poet, engaged with issues of otherness throughout his complicated life and career—in no small part because of his own itinerant and often marginalized status. His first try at what would eventually become his monumental Gerusalemme liberata—an unfinished poem he wrote when he was 16, called simply “Il Gierusalemme”—gives us a glimpse into an early attempt to define epic as a space for welcoming in the…

No Untranslatables! (Box 5, to Translate)
It was through the Italians that translation as a theoretical enterprise was revived in the Renaissance. This was in large part thanks to Leonardo Bruni, erstwhile chancellor of Florence and indefatigable translator of Greek into Latin at a particularly heady moment in the history of humanism: the early fifteenth century, two generations after that other indefatigable humanist (albeit one ignorant of Greek), Petrarch. Indignant over criticism of …
Geographies of Charity
This article addresses the role of two late fifteenth-century Florentine writers, Lucrezia Tornabuoni de’Medici and Antonia Pulci, in articulating what was at stake for women who sought to engage in meaningful ways in their city’s charitable economy. The emerging role of female tertiaries or those who belonged to the so-called terzo stato, troubled the medieval distinctions between active and contemplative lives. Tornabuoni, Pulci, and their cont…
Imagining Narrative in Tasso
Simile plays a far more fundamental role in Tasso’s Gerusalemme liberata than has generally been acknowledged, exemplary of what Tasso would refer to in his Discorsi del poema eroico as the "parola pellegrina." "Imagining Narrative in Tasso" brings together one of the key similes of the poem – the comparison of the fleeing Erminia to a hunted deer at the end of Canto 6 - to the role of Erminia as a pellegrina . Like figurative language itself, Er…

Sacred Narratives
Theater and Its Social Uses
Long seen as a play that celebrates the new-found freedom of its female protagonist, Mandragola may in fact question the very possibility of theatrical "liberation. "Drawing on the foundational myth central to Renaissance thinking about theater, the abduction of the Sabine women, this essay shows how Machiavelli endeavored to make his play a discomfitting experience for characters and audience alike. This conception of comedy as social trap both …

Veiling the Stage
At heart of anti-theatrical sentiment in seventeenth-century Europe was a concern with a theatre that masked its duplicitous and invasive nature beneath a cloak of innocence and thereby attracted-and inevitably corrupted-its innocent audience. Protesting renewal of Aquinas's claim that theatre should be considered a thing indifferent, Jansenist Pierre Nicole asserted that more careful a dramatist is to cover illicit passions with veil of honesty,…
Spenser, Virgil, and the Politics of Poetic Labor
The Curse of Babel
Several years ago, Daniel Javitch demonstrated with impressive clarity and humor one of the structural and even moral principles that guides the Orlando Furioso at almost every turn, or at least at the close of every canto: interruption, the disruptive intervention of the narrator or one of his fictive accomplices-a magic ring, a recalcitrant breastplate, an unruly horse-at critical moments of the story.1 It seems that another persistent temporal…
