Shakespeare's Italian place-myths: The Padua–Verona–Mantua nexus
This article aims to explore Shakespeare's poetics of Italian places and place names, with particular regard to the nexus between Padua, Verona, and Mantua. The primary text of reference is The Taming of the Shrew , especially in relation to John Florio's bilingual conversation manual, Second frutes (1590). While Padua, in this and other plays, is represented as a cultural hub, Mantua, by contrast, is often figured as a spatial elsewhere, a heter…

Ariosto in Scotland by way of France. John Stewart of Baldynneis’ Roland Furious
The article discusses John Stewart of Baldynneis’ version of Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso as a case study for early modern indirect translation. Written in the 1580s, this translation precedes John Harington’s, and was composed at the court of James VI of Scotland. The young king had promoted a vernacular revival through a group of poets, translators and musicians; he himself translated a number of works by Guillaume de Salluste Du Bartas, …
London, 1584: Translation and Cultural Politics
London, in the year 1584, was a crossroads of cultural exchange, philosophical elaboration, religious dissent. The present contribution focuses on this year considering the circulation of people - especially foreign intellectuals - and books: it looks at the cultural circle established in the household of the French ambassador, Michel de Castelnau; at works such as Giordano Bruno's his Cena de le ceneri and John Florio's First Fruites; at a cultu…
Translating Machiavelli's Prince in Early Modern England: New Manuscript Evidence
‘All Estates and signiories wich haue had and doe beare rule ouer men, haue either byn and are Comon weales or Monarchies’: thus begins Sion MS L40.2/E24, preserved in Lambeth Palace Library, London. Written in clear anglicana, it offers a translation of Machiavelli’s Prince. It is a welcome addition to the already known English manuscript translations preceding Dacres’s printed version. The codex shows how the scribe paid attention to historical…

Walter Scott of Buccleuch, Italian poet: Walter Scott of Buccleuch, Italian poet
Though never recognized any literary status, the name of Walter Scott of Buccleuch (1565–1611) looms large in the papers of one of the most intriguing intellectuals of late sixteenth-century Scotland, William Fowler. As can be surmised in the extant manuscripts, now in the National Library of Scotland, Fowler intended to dedicate to Buccleuch his translation of Niccolò Machiavelli's Il Principe; and the two Scots appear to have enrolled together …

Shakespeare's Universe of Discourse: Language-Games in the Comedies
The Case of Cummings
References to E.E. Cummings's relationship with the early twentiethcentury avant-garde are usually rather hurried, and limited to suggesting that the poet felt the influence of Symbolist techniques (absolute metaphor), of Ezra Pound's Rispostes (1912), and perhaps of the linguistic experimentalism of Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons (1914); or alternatively, that he owed much to the Dada and Surrealist movements; or again that he was influenced by…
